🤖 We’re entering the Augmentation Revolution: AI agents that adopt our personalities, wearables that rewrite perception, neural interfaces that merge thought and code. Power is shifting to the people who invent these tools—so they must pair technical mastery with practical wisdom.

With the Augmentation Lab, we’re building a community of philosopher-builders—creators who prototype mind- and body-enhancing tools while thinking deeply about their long-term human impact.

☀️ Summer Residency (June 15 – Aug 25, 2025)

This summer, our mission goes immersive. 20 residents - hardware hackers, creative coders, bio-tinkerers, sound designers, kinetic sculptors - will share two Cambridge hacker houses for 9 intense weeks (June 15 → Aug 25). By day they turn wild concepts into working prototypes; by night they dissect meaning, aesthetics, and ethics over midnight pizza.

Where: Cambridge, MA (near MIT & Harvard) - Cyborg House and Harvard St Commons, this year partnering with The Residency

Who: 20 residents—hardware hackers, creative coders, bio-tinkerers, sound designers, kinetic sculptors

What:

• Live together in two hacker houses for 9 intense weeks
• By day: wild concepts → working prototypes
• By night: dissect meaning, aesthetics & ethics over midnight pizza

📺 Docu-Series

This year’s residency is being filmed as a live-in docu-series, with weekly episodes that capture:

• Mentor drop-ins
• Late-night pivots
• Studio jam sessions
• The inevitable clash of visions

We’re lifting the veil on how futuristic technologies are built (and by whom) and inviting the wider community into the conversation.
