Jack Forman's bubble machines were featured in Opera Philadelphia's production of The Seasons
From the @nytimes : "To express external weather, the production uses dancers and soap suds. (Mimi) Lien, working with the bubble design technologist Jack Forman, magically conjures snow, rain, smoke and ice."

We are pleased to welcome machinist-sculptor Chris Bathgate to CBA for a dynamic exchange of ideas. Chris shared his approach to artistic ideation, digital fabrication, and advanced metalworking techniques, while MIT researchers explore how computational modeling can inspire and support creative expression.
We celebrate the pioneering life and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025), who revolutionized the understanding of non-human primates. In 2019 she introduced the first Interspecies Internet workshop, which we hosted at MIT:
