We’ve long turned to MIT for the skinny on the latest advancements in robotics, computer science, neuroscience, and aeronautics, but lately the university’s museum has gripped us with a science we never even considered a science: holography. The public art exhibit “Luminous Windows: Holograms for the 21st Century” showcases the radiant, 3-D, electron manipulations of six artists from five countries. Night owls, this one’s for you: it’s on display through the windows of the MIT Museum (Mark Epstein Innovation Gallery, Building N51, 265 Mass Ave, Cambridge, 617.253.5927) every night from dusk to 2 a.m. We’ve seen laser shows before, but this one makes those rock-show displays look like child’s play.
