From 2012 to 2019, the MIT Hacking Arts Festival was an annual conference that ignited cross-disciplinary innovation at MIT. Artists, engineers, and entrepreneurs came together for a two-day festival to take on challenges at the intersection of the arts and technology. Participants formed interdisciplinary teams of creative students and young professionals and had 24 hours to design, build, and present their idea to a panel of judges.
Hacking Arts was organized by the MIT Sloan School of Management Entertainment, Media & Sports Club in partnership with MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology and the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.
