From the Organizer:
This November, discover how sleep, dreams, and light collide at the MIT Museum.
Start the evening with a lively talk by Dr. Charles Czeisler and learn how light shapes the way we sleep, wake, and feel.
Next, step inside Hotel Room #2: Communal Dreams and let pulses of light, sound, and motion guide your mind. Created by artists Carsten Höller, Adam Haar Horowitz, and Seth Riskin, the installation allows three sleepers at a time to drift into a shared, collective dream. After Dark guests are invited to participate in this immersive five-minute experience.
Test your circadian smarts in a playful game by Olivia Walch that shows how signals from light can help you beat jet lag or wake up refreshed.
Then, get hands-on with cyanotype-making, experimenting with light and shadow in a creative, playful way.
Local craft beer from Aeronaut and Japanese eats from Pagu, available for purchase.
This month's After Dark is held in conjunction with Lighten Up! On Biology and Time, an exhibition exploring the intimate connection between living organisms and the natural cycle of light and dark.
