artistic research

The MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology supports faculty research and sponsors fellows and affiliates, research clusters, and maintains an archive of over 40 years of visionary artistic production.

ACT supports research that defines and explores artistic research methods and connects research and curriculum through thematic clusters headed by individual faculty members. Current topics include: “Artistic Interventions: Creative Response to Conflict and Crisis,” “Art, Culture and Public Sphere,” “Interrogative and Eco-design,” “The Future of Body,” “Theatricality, Performativity, Process,” and the “Future Archive.”

ACT holds the archive of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) containing materials concerning collaborative and time-based productions generated by or related to the tenure of nearly 100 internationally recognized artist-fellows over the past 44 years.

SPECIAL NOTE:  The CAVS Special Collection is currently being processed by Jeremy Grubman, the Project Archivist.  Access to the materials may be limited during this time.  For more information or reference requests, please contact Jeremy at email hidden; JavaScript is required.
