HOOPcycle — a mobile art installation — is a basketball court on a tricycle that pops up and activates different public spaces. The hoops’ combo of horizontal and vertical rims nods to the preColumbian precursor of the sport (2500-100 BCE) and the Meso-American tradition of papel picado (“perforated paper”) in which the holes are said to let the past come through. Conceptualized by artist Marisa Moran Jahn (SMVisS ’07) and architect and MIT professor Rafi Segal, this vibrant mobile basketball court explores the intersections of recreational equity, cultural heritage, and public space. HOOPcycle debuted this week in the parking lot shared by The National Public Housing Museum and a new mixed-income housing development in Chicago’s Near West Side. “By bringing play back to urban streets, HOOPcycle reclaims these spaces for connection and resilience,” says Segal.

Join us as we partner with the MIT Sloan AI & ML Club for an inspiring evening exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and design. This event brings together leading experts to discuss how AI is revolutionizing the design process and how we can shape the future of design. The talks will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by our co-organizer Eunhae Lee. And our will take place at Æthos - pushing the forefront of what is possible with AI and providing the best place for startups. RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/ejYQy8xD Event Details: Date: Thursday, October 17, 2024 Time: 5:30 PM - 8 PM Location: Aethos Station (CIC Cambridge @ 1 Broadway, 7th Floor) Featured Speakers Marcelo Coelho - Director of the MIT Design Intelligence Lab, Former Head of Design @ Formlabs Marcelo Coelho is director of the MIT Design Intelligence Lab and faculty at the MIT Department of Architecture. Spanning a wide range of media, processes, and scales, his work seeks to create new forms of physical expression and collaboration between human and machine intelligence. Marcelo currently teaches undergraduate and graduate courses that bring together industrial design, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. He is a Design Tech Innovation Fellow at Cornell University, and holds a doctorate degree from the MIT Media Lab. Vivek H V- Co-Founder, Naya Studio Vivek HV is a co-founder of Naya Studio, a design platform that gives superpowers to anyone, anywhere in their journey of turning ideas into physical products. For as long as he can remember, he has been creating, designing, and building (or breaking) things. Throughout his career, he has been at the intersection of technology and design - from building private jets for celebrities like Taylor Swift and Jackie Chan or designing digital products in healthcare, gaming, and finance. Jeremy Joachim- Adobe Machine Intelligence and New Technologies (MINT) Jeremy Joachim designs interactions for emerging technologies, directing the feeling of moving to, through, and out of experiences that might feel new or unfamiliar. He currently works at Adobe, where he and the teams around him are building new products and features that leverage the power of AI across their ecosystem of creative tools. Before Adobe, much of Jeremy's work as a creative technologist comprised of creating installations and exhibits in physical space (lots of robots, motors, sensors, projection mapping, XR, etc). #idsa #boston #design #ai #talks #panel #networking #cic #cambridge

"Punch 9 for Harold Washington" traces the campaign and election of Chicago's first Black mayor. In his review for "Planning" magazine, DUSP's Ezra Haber Glenn writes that the "pacing, tone, and level of analysis strikes a good balance that would make Punch 9 welcome viewing for a class in race, urban politics, and history — or just an enjoyable movie night for planners." https://lnkd.in/e_nrYdku
