We bring together artists and scientists to create technological art
Saša Spačal (Slovenia), Earthlink, biotechnological installation, 2018
LABORATORIA’s mission is to establish an environment for interdisciplinary communication, uniting contemporary art, science, and nature. Our approach fosters the creation of new artworks with AI and other non-human agents, not merely as tools but as active collaborators, transforming our worldview and guiding us toward a renewed humanistic perspective.
From 2022 Laboratoria moved to Europe and is now based between Berlin – Barcelona – Paris
LABORATORIA’s mission is to cultivate a dynamic environment for interdisciplinary collaboration, integrating contemporary art, scientific inquiry, and the natural world. By positioning artificial intelligence and other non-human agents as co-creators rather than mere instruments, we seek to facilitate the production of groundbreaking artworks. This endeavor aspires to redefine our understanding of creativity and advance a new humanistic perspective, fostering transformative insights into the evolving relationship between humanity, technology, and nature.
Since 2008 LABORATORIA has implemented:
30 international exhibitions, more than 20 conferences and symposia, more than 10,000 published works, including articles, news reports and other texts.
LABORATORIA is a meeting place, a forum for discussions and round tables of scientists and artists and other scholars, and anyone interested in the establishment of an independent global Art & Science community.
It is the space for the implementation of experimental projects fostering collaboration between contemporary art and science.
Four areas of activity:
Incubator/Production
We create conditions for the emergence of international works of art & science
Exhibitions
We showcase technological art worldwide, emphasizing a non-anthropocentric perspective
Publications and Research
We research new worldviews and technologies across art, science and nature
Education
We popularize Art&Science to a general audience through conferences, symposia and workshops.
- We observe societal changes driven by scientific and technological advancements and proactively address the most pressing issues in the technological landscape.
- Our approach promotes mutual discovery and knowledge exchange with the audience.
- We instigate multidisciplinary interaction to foster the creation of a new artistic language and artistic forms tailored to the new technological reality.
- We develop innovative multidisciplinary formats for educational programs and exhibitions.
- We create new approaches to the interpretation of innovative technologies and scientific breakthroughs.
- We interpret the link between technologies and humankind and nature to embody these ideas in artistic-scientific projects.
One of the premises at LABORATORIA is deep collaboration: “infusion” of artistic thinking in scientific laboratories and institutes, and vice-versa: the inclusion of scientists in the experimental environment of the artistic context.
