The Resonances Lectures navigate the intersection of contemporary art, pure and applied sciences, and everyday life. Inaugurated in the Spring of 2025 by STUDIO.nano, this lecture and panel series seeks to gather artists, designers, scientists, engineers, and historians who examined how scientific endeavors shape artistic production and vice versa. Their insights expose the historical context on how art and science are made and distributed in society, and offer hints at the possible futures of such productions.
An exploration of the history and present meaning of curiosity, attention, and the urge to know, Resonances shuttles engagingly between rigor and intuition, inviting both the members of MIT community and the general public audience to further engage with and learn from, the past and future of interdisciplinary ideas across vastly different domains and scales.
The presented content of the Resonance Lectures will be collected and distributed as a seasonal publication, in both print and digital formats.
