\"under<\/a><\/p>\n

One week ago I was back in Cambridge for the Media in Transition conference at MIT<\/a>. Returning to the constellation of cities that compose the metropolitan area of Boston is always great. I enjoy a lot the kind of conversations, encounters, and trajectories I can have there. It is an excellent place for net-weaving, for discovering, asking questions, and learning. It triggers my curiosity. During this visit I spent a few hours walking the underground system of tunnels that connects the buildings of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I took many pictures as in a photo essay style. Or more exactly, as in a film style because I took hundreds of pictures. I will share some of them in this post. But before I do that, let me introduce the underground system of tunnels with a map. This system, reflects the interdisciplinary of this school, the interconnections of areas of knowledge. The underground architecture indeed reflects the freedom of linking that one can experiment there. I miss such power of connectivity, networking, and flow of information.

\nI went to the underground of building 16 in order to see the closet where Aaron Swartz connected a laptop to download JSTOR articles<\/a>. I found an intersection after crossing the infinite corridor.<\/p>\n

\"E\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then, I saw the underground corridor of building 16. It had at least 3 different closets or machine rooms.<\/p>\n

\"closet<\/a><\/p>\n

In my memory, that underground 16 tunnel seemed to be long. However, it is\u00a0actually a very short passage with few doors, few routers and dimmed lights.<\/p>\n
