The Science of Subversion

MIT's Media Lab, which hosts the
Computing Culture Group in their
postmodern playroom, is a bizarre department that
blends technology, art and agitprop in idiosyncratic
and sometimes nonsensical ways. Students here
don't string together theories about the origins of
the universe; instead they contrive high-tech ways to
jolt governments, scientists and ordinary
people out of their complacency toward
machines. Far out is only one way to describe the
research that CCG conducts; another is
subversive.
