Through the Lens: Growth
A Photography Exhibit by MIT students
The exhibited projects, realized by students of 4.343 Advanced Photography and Related Media, artistically explore systemic, socio-political, and psychological issues around concepts of growth.
Throughout the spring semester, MIT students investigated aspects of the ongoing transformation of the human environment since industrialization—on physical, psychological and systemic levels—and grappled with the concept of limits to growth on a finite planet.
The projects test photography’s potential to understand and reflect our current state and possible systemic problems that originate from our modes of existence. Accordion scrap books were produced throughout the semester as a tool for research and project/concept development.

The Future Archive
The exhibition project The Future Archive picks up on artistic research projects of the 1970s and 1980s from the environment of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS), founded in 1967 by György Kepes and located at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge / USA. It shows how artists, architects and designers respond to this in their current interdisciplinary work. The groundbreaking artistic approaches of CAVS directors, György Kepes and Otto Piene, and CAVS fellows, a generation influenced by the Bauhaus and postwar Modernism, were ahead of their time. Even today, these radical ideas and collective projects of the so-called Techno-Social Movement serve as point of departure for contemporary art production. In addition to historical and current documentary material from the CAVS and its surroundings, the exhibition brings together recent artistic and creative works. Parallel to this, video films by CAVS professors and fellows from n.b.k.’s collection Video-Forum are on view.
