The NYC Media Lab’s Annual Summit took place over the weekend, described as “a snapshot of the best thinking, projects, and talent in digital media from universities in NYC and beyond.” Media executives, technologists, and decision makers from all over the world are allowed the chance to explore interesting, new technologies and applications related to the future of media on a day that includes lectures, workshops, and prototype demos.

We had a strong showing at this year’s summit with Head of Innovation and Student Advisor Eric Forman leading a workshop titled “Behind the Scenes Prototyping Interactive Art & Design,” dealing with the explosion of the maker culture and its impact on how an idea is taken from concept to prototyping to production.

Marcelo Mejia Cobo and Josh Sucher, along with MFA Products of Design’s Belen Tenorio, did a demo of their “brain-sensing, environment-augmenting, focus-enhancing” lamp Clara which “catalyzes creativity and then, post-eureka, fosters focus.” Clara was so well received at the event it has also managed to attract the attention of Motherboard.

Learn a little more about how Clara was made and how she does all those amazing things here.
