We're proud to present #TopographieDigitale an @ArsElectronica installation: ars.electronica.art/keplersgardens… This landscape uses electrically functionalized and pleated textiles as sensitive surfaces reacting to touch to interact with a video-projected digital clone of this scenery.

To reduce waste, a team, including researchers in @MITEECS, developed a program that helps users create outlines for adaptable clothing, such as pants that can be reconfigured into a dress. Each of these pieces can be replaced, rearranged, or restyled. news.mit.edu/2025/refashion…

The @softtech_lab is growing and seeking new members in 2026! PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, who are nimble to cross disciplines and well-equipped to push the boundaries between soft matter, the internet-of-things, and their human and nature-centric applications. 🧶🦾🧵

Bodies change and styles evolve. How can our clothing adapt with us? Refashion explores resizing and restyling garments from a set of reusable building blocks. Same parts, many possibilities. #UIST2025

Presenting Texergy at #uist2025 ! We explore on-body passive actuation whose entire end-to-end system can be integrated into the clothing. Texergy does this by “powering” the actuation with the user themselves mechanically in a programmable manner.

The water-based polymer gel invented by DMSE alum Tiffany Yeh and marketed by startup Eztia can cool the skin by up to 18°F by absorbing body heat and dissipating it into the air. The reusable gel provides cooling for six to eight hours. buff.ly/52EimBp

🪄 What if SMARTPHONES DISAPPEARED !? 🧵⚡️Could their INTEGRATED CIRCUITS be hidden INSIDE textile FIBERS !? 🔬FiberCircuits explores this speculation, and opens a MINIATURIZATION framework to manufacture IMPERCEPTIBLE WEARABLES! media.mit.edu/projects/fiber… 👇 More in thread

Hybrid Body Lab proudly presents a 2-month residency in the spring of 2026 for artists to collaborate with researchers to combine on-body design with emerging miniaturized technology. Information session: July 31st at 5 pm. hybridbody.human.cornell.edu/air

Several members of the Media Lab community are co-organizers for this workshop, taking place at #UbiComp2025. The deadline for submissions is June 26, 2025. (Accepted demos/reports/papers are not required for attending the workshop.) x.com/ubicomp/status…

This Wednesday at @medialab we are hosting an event organized by Chloe Bensahel on the work and influence of the Albers! In collaboration with the Albers Foundation, Morningside Academy, @ArtsatMIT, and @mitsap Poster by @veravandeseyp

Researchers from @Cornell have developed a new type of smart clothing that can track a person’s posture and exercise routine but looks and washes just like a regular shirt. SeamFit uses flexible conductive threads sewn into the neck, arm and side seams. cis.cornell.edu/nice-flex-ai-p…
