According to MIT Arts Section, artistic endeavors creativity, innovation and leadership. Students are encourage to work at the edge and make intuitive leaps into the unknown that lead to crucial discoveries. Definitely, students want to create things that make a difference in the world and many want them to be beautiful, provocative and arresting too.
At MIT, they claim that research at the intersections of arts, science and engineering will determine the artistic and performative languages of the 21st Century. Artists have embraced the challenge of inventing new methods, media, and technologies for artistic production alongside the goal of creating the most expressive artifacts, performances, and buildings.

Graduate students in art, media, and design choose MIT because it encourages creative experimenation among the arts, engineering and sciences, which typical art and design schools cannot offer. The arts today are embedded in new media and innovative technologies. It is admitted that the performance and display of innovative and cutting-edge art increases the institute's visibility and reputation and should be one of the most prominent element of its outreach to the public.
For 2015-2016, MIT continues the annual performance series MIT Sounding, curated by Faculty Director of CAST (Center for Arts, Science and Technology) Evan Ziporyn. With the support of SHASS (School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences) and MTA (Music and Theater Arts program).
CAST's multidisciplinary platform presents performing and visual arts programs, supports research projects for artists working with science and engineering labs and sponsors symposia, classes, workshops, design studios, lectures and publications.
