Liquid Archive

Richard The

The Liquid Archive is a generative video work shown on the 6x6m digital display at the center of the new MIT Museum. Using machine learning, the piece examines thousands of digital artifacts from the museum collection to create an infinite, forever unfolding associative journey through the history of practice at MIT. Inspired by the cross-disciplinary nature of research at the institute, the animated collage constantly draws new, surprising connections across time, place and research discipline.
