Hypebot: An MIT Media Lab For Music
Imagine a lab where Berklee students would be challenged to envision and create the future of music. At any given time, there would be dozens of music-focused research studies, startup ventures, emerging technologies, and innovative projects that students could attend for a single semester or an entire year.
Panos Panay, founding managing director, discusses this vision with Kyle Bylin of Hypebot, and explores the possibility of BerkleeICE filling the research vacuum that currently exists in the creative space. Bylin says of Panay's goal, "His ambitious plan is to build a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab for music, wherein an interdisciplinary team of academic researchers and startup practitioners would attempt to create the future of music across every vertical."
