...appendectomy. In 1996 MIT's Council on the Arts gave LoCurto and Outcault a grant so they could make maps of their naked bodies using digital scanning and cartography software. The List Visual Arts Center is home to the resulting exhibit, selfportrait.map, featuring 18 large-scale color prints. Unlike hides on a wall, these skins never fully surrender the fantasy of three dimensions, so that as the form is flattened, it also tends to careen. LoCurto and Outcault are deformed as pure surface and spun out by algorithms into unlikely, mappish dimensions...
...order to provide more opportunities, the Student Playwrights Project first needed to take into account some of the problems that student writers face. Time constraints during this early part of the season mean that many writers cannot pull together full scale productions of their plays.

...experience. The smell of popcorn, the crush of bodies, the communal sense of anticipation and the space itself all add to the story of the entertainment. Spaces, architectural enclosures, shape our relation to an event. You can pray at home. But a church, mosque or synagogue gives prayer scale, grace and a heightened sense of spirituality because of the aura of sacred ritual deemed appropriate within the religious house. People cling to ritual. It gives structure and comfort to chaos. It creates a sense...
