The MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) connects the worlds of art, science, and technology by collaborating with departments, labs, and centers across the Institute. CAST looks for unexpected partnerships for visiting artists and seeks to embed residencies in ongoing research and teaching at MIT.
During this time of physical distancing to limit the spread of COVID-19, CAST invites you to stay connected to the work of Visiting Artists through a series of free public webinars. MIT students conduct brief conversations centered around just three questions.
