LAB

The NUMEDIART Lab was inau­gu­rated in July 2010, with the goal of pro­vid­ing researchers with a “full dig­i­tal” envi­ron­ment for test­ing dig­i­tal art tech­nolo­gies in real­is­tic per­for­mance con­di­tions.
It is also used for teach­ing dig­i­tal art tech­nol­ogy at the Bach­e­lor and Mas­ter level, and as a rehearsal space for per­for­mances and concerts.

The lab is equipped with:
