metaLAB

metaLAB (at) Harvard is a project of the Berkman Klein Center at the intersection of art & design, technology, and the humanities. We are a community of scholars, creatives, technologists, and educators dedicated to modeling new forms of cultural communication, critical practice, and knowledge production. We are seeking a part time (15-20 hours per week) student designer (graphic design, dataviz design, illustration, or other!) to join us on a nascent metaLAB project – part art, part science communication, and part public engagement – that seeks to understand, demystify, and visualize the various radio frequency technologies (such as wifi, cellular, bluetooth, and satellite) that provide the scaffolding for 21st century information and communication technologies. The output for this project will be multimodal and will likely include: publications, website, a public presentation, and an exhibition. The intern will work closely with metaLAB's Director of Art & Education, and will collaborate with other students and researchers in the metaLAB community. Candidates should have familiarity with internet studies, enjoy working collaboratively and iteratively – as well as independently – and be available to help out with additional metaLAB projects that may arise. **Please include a portfolio link in your cover letter, and indicate specific areas of design expertise/interest. Please indicate other skills as well that may be useful on the project, including research, writing, social media/communications, technical engineering, or web design/development.**
