Main Page

The MediaPedia is provided as an interactive reference to the lab's groups and projects in order to provide more community and interaction between the sponsors and researchers of the lab.

The page provides a source of information for lab sponsors about current research projects as well as a feedback mechanism for researchers to hear the compliments and critiques from sponsor visits.

History of the Media Lab
A place to add your memories of the Media Lab and its predecessor organizations, such as the Architecture Machine Group and the Visible Language Workshop.

Badge Project
At the October 2004 TTT meeting, lab sponsors had a chance to register interest in specific projects during the research open house. At the May 2005, a second-generation badge was used. Projects from both meetings are listed (and linked) below:
