About

Promoting a playful interaction between theory, engineering, and situated practice, it comprises a multi-disciplinary team of artists, creative technologists, designers, theorists, and digital craftsmen pursuing situated research in a wide array of subareas, inter alia concerning: electronic arts, cybernetic culture, digital theatre/performance, embodiment, making/hacking methodologies, animism, media archaeology, ‘dark’ ecology, AI and bio-inspired algorithms, VR/AR, ‘alien’ phenomenology, ethnography, posthuman studies, and DIWO (Do-It-With-Others) approaches to art and education.

Drawing upon such traits, ongoing projects aim the production of experimental artefacts/prototypes, theoretical critique/analysis, original exploratory artworks, bespoke software/hardware, and all sorts of hybrids thereof.

MAD Research Lab is co-directed by Doros Polydorou and Marinos
Koutsomichalis since March 2019.
