Ars Electronica’s media art R&D lab, Futurelab brings together the concept of an artist’s atelier and a researcher’s laboratory. The result is a space in which the tone is set by activities of transdisciplinary teams and which, depending on the demands of a particular assignment, is continually being reconfigured as a lab-atelier or atelier-lab.
The staff of Futurelab includes about 50 artists and researchers working on the conception, planning and realisation of joint projects and commissioned assignments involving clients and associates worldwide; these men and women are computer artists, computer scientists, physicists, media and product designers, architects, game developers, telematics engineers, sociologists, art historians and scholars in the fields of cultural studies and communications.
Futurelab works out new approaches in the field of media performances, linking up musical works to computer-supported means of artistic expression to engender new performance practices for stage productions. It also organises exhibitions and has a series of projects in the areas of media art and architecture, as well as information design. It also functions as a transdisciplinary source of know-how in its R&D activities and consulting.
