Announcing: Cultural Producers in Residence 2011-2012
We are thrilled to announce Experience Economies as Cultural Producers in Residence at The Lab this year.
One of Bostonʼs most agile and innovative cultural presenters, Experience Economies is a nomadic social event series where cultural producers are audiences to each other’s spectacles. Not a lecture and not a party, the events incorporate performance, presentation, discussion, scheming, drinks and food. Experience Economies welcomes experimentation, works-in-progress, audiences that want their spectacles to mess with them and presenters who need a space to make that mess.
Update: public event will take place on the evening of Saturday, February 18th.
Stay tuned for more details! If you would like to volunteer, sign up here.
TEDxCambridge
What is Thrive?
Thrive is a one-day TEDx event presented by TEDxCambridge and hosted by The Laboratory at Harvard featuring short talks, performances, and demonstrations by some of the leading thinkers and doers in the Boston area. We will explore our brains and bodies, question the relationship between nature and nurture, and examine the different understandings of the good life as we ask: How can we live the longest and healthiest lives? When are we the most productive and creative? When do our minds, bodies and spirits flourish? How do we thrive?
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created TEDx, a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
TEDxCambridge draws from the amazing wealth of innovation, passion and inspiration in Cambridge and the greater Boston area.
Public Media Systems Workshop
Join the Broadcaster Project, a friend of the LAB, for a FREE informal workshop and working group around media systems.
What will happen?
We will discuss media systems. Things like television, internet, magazines, blogs, etc. We will view them with several lens including consumption/production, parallel/serial, horizontal/vertical, local/global, centralized/distributed, community/personal. We will then discuss small actions and cover how any new or old computer can become a local information server, a shared public appliance. Using free software, we will go over several ways you can accomplish this. You can do some physical building of a structures to house your device and we can talk about local venues that might house your unit as well. From cafes, music venues, to occupy boston.
Where: Industry Lab coworking space. 288 Norfolk St, 4th Floor. Near Inman Sq, Cambrij.
When: 5 Wednesdays in November, 7-9pm. Nov 1,8,15,22,29
