What is the ACTLab ?
We're a unique, freewheeling research group working at the hotly contested intersections where technology, art, and culture collide. Our uniqueness doesn't come from our courses or physical plant, but from the special qualities of our community and participants, the guiding vision of our directors, visiting artists and lecturers, and our students' broad spectrum of interests and projects.
The ACTLab research group is shaped and distinguished by the extraordinarily diverse backgrounds and skill sets of its faculty and students. From its inception, the ACTLab has been a major international presence in defining the nature and direction of new transdisciplinary organizations. ACTLab principles of risk-taking, extreme interdisciplinarity, and openness to innovation have been extensively quoted and debated at institutions worldwide as they attempt to chart their own future courses.
