Prototyping in Public: Where Art and Science Get Tested on the Gallery Floor
- WHO IT IS FOR: Product builders, pilot operators, and innovators interested in the intersection of technology and public engagement.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: An exploration of how museums can serve as live laboratories for prototyping emerging technologies like machine learning and CRISPR.
- FORMAT: An expert-led presentation and discussion featuring case studies from the MIT Museum.
Join Startup Grind NYC at The National Arts Club for a unique exploration of innovation at the intersection of art and science. Ann Neumann, Director of Galleries and Exhibitions at the MIT Museum, will discuss how museums can evolve from passive viewing spaces into active infrastructure for public experimentation.
Through a series of interactive project case studies, learn how the MIT Museum prototypes complex technologies—including sensory neuroscience, machine learning, and CRISPR—directly on the gallery floor. This session offers invaluable insights for anyone responsible for testing products and running pilots in real-world environments.
Hosted in collaboration with the National Arts Club's Art and Technology Committee, this free event provides a front-row seat to the future of public engagement and scientific storytelling. Space is limited, so please arrive early to secure your spot.
