By creating realistic, simulated satellite images that show the potential impacts of flooding, the "Earth Intelligence Engine" could help communities visualize and prepare for storms. news.mit.edu/2024/new-ai-to…

A generative AI model visualizes what floods in Texas might look like in satellite imagery. The original photo, of an unflooded rural area, is on the left, and the AI generated image, showing the same area covered in brown floodwaters, is in on the right.

Four dancers—three human, one computer-generated—on a dark stage, washed in golden light.

A dancer in a dramatic pose, his arms raised, lit by a bright spotlight that casts his shadow against the screen behind him. It displays several panels of computer code related to the choreography.

A human dancer, his left foot planted, his right foot raised, looks up at a large screen on which a computer-generated dancer strikes a similar pose.

Four human dancers move through a choreography. A computer-generated figure on the screen behind them dances with them, surrounded by menus that display options such as "Circle & Curve" and "Synchronic Limbs."

Using a 3D printer from Media Lab spinoff, Evenline, which uses molten glass as a feedstock, MIT researchers have developed sturdy glass bricks to be used in building construction. bobvila.com/design/3d-prin…

A stout pyramid of glass bricks, four layers tall and approximately 15 feet across and four feet high, stands in the center of Killian Court. The Great Dome of MIT rises behind it. The grass is brown and the trees are bare. Credit: Ethan Townsend

In Hube Magazine, Media Lab Professor Behnaz Farahi talks about her research group, Critical Matter, and what drives her to explore the intersection of art and technology. hubemag.com/stories/machin…

A woman wears Behnaz Farahi's "Caress of the Gaze," a 3D-printed vest that resembles a garment made of feathers, or flowers. The garment reacts to viewers' gazes.

A woman wears a glowing vest made up of rounded, organic forms. The piece, "Bodyscape" by Behnaz Farahi, is an interactive 3D printed fashion item with lighting that responds to the wearer's movements.

A man examines an array of glowing red tubes arranged in a spherical pattern inspired by the shape of a soccer ball. The room is dark; the viewer's face is illuminated only by the red light emitted by the sculpture. Behnaz Farahi created this piece, "Mesolite," as an interactive display case that responds to the viewer.

A silhouetted figure dances between two large, illuminated sheets that rise like wings to either side of the frame. Behnaz Farahi created this piece, "Breathing Wall II," as a continuation of an earlier work, "The Living, Breathing Wall."
