As first part of an ongoing process to redesign the web presence for the MIT media Lab, studio:module developed a microsite to attract prospective students and researchers to the Lab. The site includes video, rich media and an in-depth overview to the researchers and personalities at the Lab.

The site was designed to be as forward-looking as the Media Lab’s research into technology. The look and feel of the admissions is a ambitious departure from the boxy feel typical of most web sites, fully integrating exotic shapes with HTML in the site’s themes.

About the MIT Media Lab
At the Media Lab, the future is lived, not imagined. In a world where radical technology advances are taken for granted, we design technology for people to create a better future.

The Lab comprises rigorous research and graduate degree programs, where traditional disciplines get checked at the door. Future-obsessed product designers, nanotechnologists, data-visualization experts, industry researchers, and pioneers of computer interfaces work side by side to tirelessly invent–and reinvent–how humans experience, and can be aided by, technology.

The site was developed by studio:module of Miami, FL
