This exhibition seeks to inspire\, create\, and con tinue conversations around innovative approaches to energy inclusion\, gen eration\, consumption\, distribution\, policy\, and the digital tools shap ing the future towards energetic sustainability.\nExhibition Theme\nThe ex hibition will explore intersections between energy and information technol ogies\, engaging with questions about sustainability\, climate justice\, a nd energy inclusion\, digital tools for energy\, and visualizations of ene rgy flows and data. We are looking for multiple\, diverse definitions of e nergy.\nThe Information+ 2025 Exhibition invites engagement with topics su ch as energy inclusion\, sustainability\, climate justice\, and digital to ols shaping energy systems. What does energy mean to you? How do you defin e it\, and how does it feature in your work?\nDiverse definitions of energ y include:\n1. Physical Science: Energy is the capacity to do work in form s like kinetic\, thermal\, chemical\, and nuclear.2. Environmental Science : Refers to natural resources harnessed for human use (solar\, wind\, foss il fuels).3. Sociocultural Context: Symbol of vitality or momentum in comm unities and systems.4. Information Technology: Power and efficiency of dig ital systems and computational tools.5. Artistic/Metaphorical: Movement\, emotion\, and transformation in creative expression.\nFunding and Support\ n1. Physical InstallationFunding: One project up to $3\,000Possible Locati ons: MIT Media Lab\, Killian Court\, Walker Memorial\, or Northeastern Uni versityDescription:– Immersive\, interdisciplinary exhibits requiring ma terial/labor resources– Must allow for audience engagement and spatial i nteraction\n2. Digital ExhibitionFunding: Up to $500 each (5 projects)Scre en-based works using MIT/Northeastern equipment (e.g.\, screens\, speakers \, keyboards)\n3. Two-Dimensional WorksFunding: Printing support for up to 10 A1 postersVisually compelling representations of energy-related topics \nAll selected teams receive installation support and will present at the Info+ panel during the opening.\nExamples of Potential Works1. Real-time r enewable energy visualizations (solar\, wind)2. Data visualizations (e.g.\ , CO2 emissions\, energy inequality)3. Projects addressing energy access a nd underserved communities4. Simulations of energy futures based on consum ption and policy5. Artistic reflections on cultural interpretations of ene rgy\nKey DatesRelease: March 28\, 2025Submission Deadline: May 30\, 2025 J une 16\, 2026Notification: Early July 2025Fabrication: July–October 2025 Installation: Early November 2025Opening: November 14\, 2025\nSubmission G uidelines\n1. Relevance: Must engage themes of energy transition and infor mation technology.2. Suitability: Consider space\, ADA compliance\, digita l infrastructure.3. Compliance: Must follow MIT safety\, energy\, and ethi cs guidelines.4. Submission Package:– 1 A1 PDF (posters) or 2 A1 PDFs (o ther categories)– Project title\, 300-word description\, funding categor y– Sketches\, renders\, technical diagrams– Budget (if applicable)\, t imeline\, and circularity plan– Team bios and contact info5.
