The interweaving of different knowledge cultures is a central approach for the Ars Electronica Labs. Find out how citizens are actively involved in shaping our world, how the human body can be extended by means of technology, how (new) materials are used to innovatively produce things and how the smallest biological structures and processes shape our lives.
The idea of the laboratory far removed from everyday life, where scientific results are produced in detachment from the world, is out of date. Instead, the laboratory should be understood in a broader sense as a hub for creativity, technology, society, and science. It is a multifaceted place that allows us to discover and design the world and reach our full potential.
But what is particularly vital for innovative progress in the economic, scientific, or social realms is interdisciplinary cooperation. Today, research is driven by lively exchange among researchers and beyond the scientific field. It is often only when different forms of knowledge interact that we are able to see new possibilities. What would science be, for example, without its instruments? Producing them requires a wide range of technical skills. We will be best equipped to overcome the challenges of our time when our common potential is being developed to the best extent possible.
