RESONATING MIT
AMPLIFYING SONIC ATMOSPHERES
Welcome to the Resonating MIT sonic archive. This website provides a gateway into sound art and sonic interventions from the past, present, and the speculative future of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This interactive map grafts a sonic landscape onto MIT’s Cambridge campus and enables the public to participate by sharing their own "pins".
This website includes interdisciplinary collaboration from spring 2014 at MIT's Program for Art, Culture and Technology, with participants including the 4.373 Sound Installations and Sonic Interventions class, a collaboration with Berklee College of Music; the works of CAST visiting artists Stephen Vitiello and Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner; as well as compositions by students from the class 21M.351 Music Composition performed by the avant-garde visiting artist ensemble Either/Or.
All the “pins” engage sound through artistic, architectural, sonic engineering, and research practices. Resonating MIT proposes that listening and resonating are unique methods for understanding space and place, using art as a catalyzer to amplify transdisciplinary exchange. Happy exploring!
