# Event Details - **Event Name**: Designing Intelligent Materials that Fuel Creativity | Binge Thinking - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 pm - **Event Description**: What if materials could help you create? Learn how they become creative partners across fashion, networks, music, and creativity research.About this EventWelcome to Binge Thinking! We bring professors and experts into bars to share talks on fascinating ideas and topics that just makes you binge think.We usually think of materials as things we use. Passive. Fixed. Predictable. But what if materials could participate in the creative process with us?Across human-computer interaction, fashion design, network science, music, and creativity research, a new idea is emerging: materials don’t just support creativity... they can actively shape it.In this talk, Bolor Amgalan explores how materials are shifting from static matter into responsive, evolving, agentic creative partners.The result?Materials that adapt and respond over time, rather than staying fixedCreative systems where interaction becomes a dialogue instead of a commandNew design workflows where tools evolve alongside the designerA rethinking of “digital materials” as a living creative mediumIn this talk, you’ll learn about Bolor Amgalan’s research on Designing Agentic Materials that Support Human Creativity.Her work draws from human-computer interaction, fashion design, network science, music, and creativity research to explore:How materials can be reframed as active participants in creative work rather than passive substances or interfaces?What the Processual Material Design framework is, and how it enables materials that evolve, respond, and collaborate over time?What kinds of design spaces open up when virtual materials are treated as a new creative medium, and how designers can meaningfully activate those spaces?Because the future of design may not be about controlling materials… but collaborating with them.About the SpeakerBolor Amgalan is an Associate Teaching Professor at Northeastern University’s College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD). Her work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, computational design, and creative systems.Her current research explores agentic and processual material systems, focusing on how designers can create materials that evolve, respond, and participate in creative workflows over time.She draws from interdisciplinary fields including fashion design, network science, music, and creativity research to develop new frameworks for understanding materials as dynamic participants in the creative process.Agenda7:30-8:00 PM — Doors open (grab a seat and a drink)8:00–8:45 PM — Lecture8:45–9:00 PM — Audience Q&A9:00–9:30 PM — Mingle and grab another round of drinks! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/designing-intelligent-materials-that-fuel-creativity-binge-thinking/100001991298114264 - **Event Categories**: art, science-fair, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Mighty Squirrel Taproom & Kitchen - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 32.95, max: 32.95, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Mighty Squirrel Taproom & Kitchen - **lat**: 42.3471204 - **long**: -71.1011747 - **full address**: Mighty Squirrel Taproom & Kitchen, 1 David Ortiz Drive, Boston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Designing Intelligent Materials that Fuel Creativity | Binge Thinking - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/0babd73855a2237be49b48d82d18d19afe462eeb12790b0416e7fbd976e30de9-rimg-w496-h350-dcffe284-gmir.jpg?v=1781205509 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Designing Intelligent Materials that Fuel Creativity | Binge Thinking being held? - **A:** Designing Intelligent Materials that Fuel Creativity | Binge Thinking takes place on Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Tue, 30 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 pm at Mighty Squirrel Taproom & Kitchen, 1 David Ortiz Drive, Boston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Designing Intelligent Materials that Fuel Creativity | Binge Thinking? - **A:** Designing Intelligent Materials that Fuel Creativity | Binge Thinking is organized by Binge Thinking. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

Our events are for people who want a night out that actually energizes them: fewer screens, better ideas, and conversations worth having.Think TED Talk meets cocktail night—no small talk required." } ] } ] ```
