Demo, talk, and performance. RSVP and more info:: condry@mit.edu. Doors at 5pm. Mariam Gviniashvili will discuss her sonic practice, her use of ambisonics technology, and perform excerpts from her work. She will also give a performance on Saturday 11/8 at Berklee. Mariam is a composer and sound artist working at the intersection of electroacoustic music, 3D sound, and multimedia performance. Her work explores the physical and emotional dimensions of sound and space, often integrating visuals and live performance. Originally from Georgia, Mariam’s musical journey began in early childhood with singing and piano, eventually leading her to composition studies at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire, the Liszt Academy of Music, and the Norwegian Academy of Music. This diversebackground informs her artistic themes, from the distractions of online meetings inDAYDREAMING (2022) to the “strange cosmic ballet” (5 against 4) of the audiovisual pieceREVELATION (2021), and DECONSTRUCTION (2020), a reflection on the spread patterns of viruses. Her work has been presented at festivals, venues, and radio broadcasts worldwide, including INA GRM, ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Ars Electronica, EMPAC, and more. Mariam is the recipient of two Honorary Mentions from Prix Ars Electronica (2021, 2023), the PRIX CIME, and the Work of the Year Award (NKF).

Making Massachusetts the world’s climate innovation labPlease join the MIT Energy Initiative as we welcome Emily Reichert, CEO of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. This seminar will explore why state-level climate leadership is more important than ever, how innovative programming is driving climate progress, and what climatetech means for local economies in Massachusetts.Massachusetts’ leaders want to cement the state as the global leader in climate technology by building a connected network–a climate corridor–of testing and demonstration sites, accelerators, companies, manufacturing facilities, and research institutions from the Berkshires to Cape Cod.Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, the state’s clean energy and climatetech economic development agency, is leading the 10-year strategy to bring this vision to life as the federal administration cuts support for entrepreneurs and researchers.Reichert will present as part of the MITEI Presents: Advancing the Energy Transition speaker series for the fall 2025 semester.This event is for the MIT Community.
