• Climate Work: Un/Worlding the Planet
May 9 - Nov 23 2025
 
Curated by: Nicholas de Monchaux , Ana Miljacki , Calvin Zhong

This exhibition presents many worlds of research, transported from the workshops and laboratories that complement and challenge a conversation on planetary computation — an infrastructure of which MIT is an instrumental part, and, as here, an observer, user, and critic. The unfinished nature of the works deliberately contrasts the polish of the Biennale as a whole; not conclusions or solutions but instead samples of research in the making, at best they offer a series of methods for knowing and addressing the climate crisis. Some may point to solutions. Some may contradict one another. The sound that bounces through the room of Palazzo Diedo’s second floor, is not explanatory, but it is documentary, evocative, and, in its own way, generative.

Repost from • Artist and designer Es Devlin brings her innovative vision to MIT’s campus this week as the 2025 recipient of the Eugene McDermott Award. She is known for public art and installations at major museums such as the Tate Modern, kinetic stage designs for the Metropolitan Opera, the Super Bowl, and the Olympics, as well as monumental stage sculptures for large-scale stadium concerts.

While at MIT, Devlin will present a pop-up exhibition and an artist talk, and meet with MIT faculty and students in the areas of design, AI, environmental sciences, theater, and more. The MIT Face to Face exhibition, pictured here, was designed by Sloan Aulgur, with lighting design by Perry Naseck and faculty guidance from Sara Brown and Ana Miljacki.

Repost from The Next Earth; Computation, Crisis, Cosmology — an exhibition presented by Antikythera in collaboration with MIT Architecture — opens at Palazzo Diedo in Venice on May 9, 2025, as part of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. This landmark project sparks a dialogue between planetary computation and climate-conscious architectural practice.

Antikythera, a global think tank working to reorient planetary computation as a technological, philosophical, and geopolitical force, takes its name from the world’s first known computer, an ancient device designed to calculate and navigate time and space. “The Noocene: Computation and Cosmology from Antikythera to AI” traces the evolution of planetary computation as an accidental megastructure, through which Earth systems, from the molecular to the atmospheric, become both intelligible and shapeable.

MIT Architecture’s Climate Work: Un/Worlding the Planet explores the work of MIT faculty on recycling, reshaping, and reframing the global environment as a dynamic complement to the conversation on planetary computation. To reshape how we build, we are reshaping the profession of Architecture, challenging long-held assumptions about building’s authorship, audience, origin and future. Each of the thirty-seven core samples provide a kaleidoscopic glimpse into the worlds, specific design contexts, and ontologies through a provocative landscape of models, prototypes, and samples. Together, these fragments form a living archive of possibilities, inviting visitors to ask different questions at the intersection of the earthly, the climactic and the technological, and arriving at different, and possibly divergent answers.

Repost • Excited to share “Gaze to the Stars” at MIT’s Artfinity Festival this week! 👁️✨ Join me March 13, 7:00–7:20 PM at the MIT Museum as I discuss how this project transforms the MIT Dome into a living canvas of resilience and aspirations. We will also have a real-time livestream of the dome projection during the talk! See you there! (Link in bio)
