Biology inspires Architecture graduate student Neri Oxman. Working at the interface of environmental design, science, and art, Oxman is inventing the future of energy-efficient building materials. A Presidential Fellow at MIT's Department of Architecture, Oxman is inventing novel ways to design, fabricate, assemble, and maintain building "skins" so they can respond to load, light, and heat simultaneously. Think buildings that breathe, sweat, and grow. "I believe that, within two decades, buildings will be designed and constructed as biological tissues," says Oxman. Daily hours may vary.

Corridor poster and library display on Galileo's 1610 book Sidereus Nuncius (known in English as Starry Messenger), which announced what he observed in the skies through use of a telescope - at the time, a recent invention. In May 2009, a limited edition printing of Galileo's landmark publication from the collections of the MIT Libraries accompanied MIT alumnus Mike Massimino into space. Massimino and six other astronauts traveled on the space shuttle Atlantis to conduct final servicing of NASA's Hubble Telescope. Massimino returned the volume to the Libraries at an October 28 event, available for viewing on TechTV.

Working as a collaborative team from 1976 until 1982, Kit Fitzgerald and John Sanborn created dynamic fusions of video art and television tactics. Their kinetic use of editing and post-production effects defined their energetic juxtapositions of visual, musical and conceptual themes. In Ear to the Ground, Fitzgerald and Sanborn collaborated with acclaimed New York musician David Van Tieghem. This 1982 video depicts Tieghem as he uses the city of Manhattan as his musical instrument, playing the surfaces of the sidewalks, buildings and phone booths with his drumsticks to elicit an ingenious range of percussive sounds. On view 24 hours/day.
