Janet Echelman's Remembering the Future widens our perspective in time, giving sculptural form to the history of the Earth's climate from the last ice age to the present moment, and then branching out to visualize multiple potential futures.Constructed from colored twines and ropes that are braided, knotted and hand-spliced to create a three-dimensional form, the immersive artwork greets you with its grand scale presiding over the MIT Museum lobby.This large-scale installation by 2022-2024 MIT Distinguished Visiting Artist Janet Echelman, was developed during her residency at the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST). Architect, engineer and MIT Associate Professor Caitlin Mueller collaborated on the development of the piece.The title, Remembering the Future was inspired by the writings commonly attributed to Søren Kierkegaard: "The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you'll never have."As the culmination of three years of dedicated research and collaboration, this site-specific installation explores Earth's climate timeline, translating historical records and possible futures into sculptural form.Echelman's climate research for this project was guided by Professor Raffaele Ferrari and the MIT Lorenz Center, creators of En-ROADS simulator which uses current climate data and modeling to visualize the impact of environmental policies and actions on energy systems.Learn more about Janet Echelman and the MIT Museum x CAST Collaboration.Learn more about the exhibition at the MIT Museum.

Speaker: Yuejie Chi (Yale University)Title: Transformers Learn Generalizable Chain-of-Thought Reasoning via Gradient DescentAbstract: Transformers have demonstrated remarkable chain-ofthought reasoning capabilities, yet the underlying mechanisms by which they acquire and extrapolate these capabilities remain limited. This talk presents a theoretical analysis of transformers trained via gradient descent for symbolic reasoning and state tracking tasks with increasing problem complexity. Our analysis reveals the coordination of multi-head attention to solve multiple subtasks in a single autoregressive path, and the bootstrapping of inherently sequential reasoning through recursive selftraining curriculum. Our optimization-based guarantees demonstrate that even shallow multi-head transformers, with chain-of-thought, can be trained to effectively solve problems that would otherwise require deeper architectures.Biography: Dr. Yuejie Chi is the Charles C. and Dorothea S. Dilley Professor of Statistics and Data Science at Yale University, with a secondary appointment in Computer Science. She received her Ph.D. and M.A. from Princeton University, and B. Eng. (Hon.) from Tsinghua University, all in Electrical Engineering.

Ionic defects are critical to the properties of functional oxides, governing mixed ionic and electronic conductivity, surface kinetics and reactivity, as well as lattice expansion and dynamics. These properties underpin applications in energy (e.g., fuel cells, electrocatalysts) and information technologies (e.g., memristors, neuromorphic computing).In this talk, Westlake University’s Qiyang Lu covers three fronts of harnessing ionic defects for tailored oxide thin film properties. First, to accurately predict the electrochemical driving force needed to manipulate ionic defects for designed properties, constructing phase diagrams that correlate physical properties (conductivity, chemical diffusivity, lattice constant, etc.) with ionic defect concentration is essential. However, such tasks often require a large number of samples and can be susceptible to artifacts introduced by sample-to-sample variations. To address this challenge, the group developed a new electrochemical device that can introduce spatially graded ionic defect concentrations in a single oxide thin film sample. Combined with high-spatial-resolution characterization tools, this approach enables high-throughput construction of phase diagrams controlled by ionic defect concentration.

Speaker: Ahsan Khan (Harvard)Title: Poisson Vertex Sigma ModelsAbstract: I will discuss a generalization of the two-dimensional Poisson sigma model to a holomorphic-topological field theory in three dimensions. It is defined from the data of a Poisson vertex algebra and when specialized to well-known PVAs, the field theory can be identified with field theories such as Chern-Simons theory and (higher spin) gravity. I'll explain how PVA modules correspond to line defects in this theory, and finally, I'll aim to explain how this field theory sheds light on the deformation quantization problem of Poisson vertex algebras.Zoom: https://mit.zoom.us/j/93615455445.

All voluntary movement in humans and many other biological creatures is powered by skeletal muscle, controlled by peripheral nerves, and supplied by blood vessels. These tissues work together to form biological actuators that can efficiently generate dynamic forces while adapting their form and function to changing environmental stimuli. The Raman Lab develops biofabrication tools to build multicellular and functional models of vascularized and innervated muscle. Tissue engineering such biological actuators enables understanding and treating diseases that limit human mobility, and powering “biohybrid” robots that dynamically sense and adapt to their environments. This talk will discuss our work towards:Developing “4D” biofabrication tools that pattern dynamic forces within engineered tissues, advancing fundamental understanding of how exercise mediates assembly, maturation, and repair in our bodies; Creating predictive design frameworks and fabrication methodologies to deploy adaptable and sustainable muscle-actuated robots; Building platforms that enable scalable and reproducible fabrication of multicellular living systems.RamanLab.mit.eduBio: Ritu Raman, Ph.D. is the Eugene Bell Career Development Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

The MIT Disabilities ERG is proud to present a series of events for Disability Employment Awareness Month this October.Join us for Festival Henge, a community participation art project that involves, absorbs and reflects the community of artists at and associated with MIT by Gearóid Dolan. During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we will be jamming on 10/3, 10/10 and 10/17.Festival Henge is a dynamic installation composed of eight freestanding, translucent hand-made LED video panels arranged in an octagonal formation. Each low-resolution video screen displays imagery visible from both sides, while also allowing the surrounding environment to be visible between the LED pixels, inviting viewers into a 360° audiovisual environment with sixteen-channel surround sound.The installation runs silent 24/7, playing a video loop of content that evolves over time, as community members submit new video content that gets added to the loop. Add your content, join the Loop!Gearóid says, "Every Friday after sundown I hold “Friday Night Jam Sessions”, 7:30pm to 11pm, when the Festival Henge is activated by community sound artists, DJs and audio visual artist performances. It is a fun participatory environment where artists and community members gather and celebrate community in a festive and welcoming space. Come join us, experience the art, hang out, play the participatory synthesizer, dance with us to beats in celebration of each other.The “Big Knob 303” synthesizer is built for people who don’t have music skills or knowledge to participate: it is very popular and a lot of fun. My computer plays the notes and accompanying drums and you play the 6 large knobs that effect the quality and timbre of the sounds. Created so people with low vision or who are blind can participate with minimal instructions, and for all to try and to enjoy.During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we will be jamming on 10/3, 10/10 and 10/17, which will also be the closing event of the project and coincides with the 99 Fridays dance party on the 6th Floor."This work is made possible by Arts At MIT, Artfinity Arts Festival, The Art Culture & Technology Program & Media LabOther events in this series10/6 -Making Inclusion and Accessibility Part of All Your Work with Rachel Tanenhaus10/8 -Disabled Artists in Conversation10/15 - Building Inclusive Workplace Practices: A talk with Laura Beretsky
