Media(nera)Lab

Led Action Screen. María Langarita & Víctor Navarro.

Media(nera)Lab is proposed as an interface, a laboratory in which projects, situations, interactions, opinions and technologies are tested  through working in collaboration. Since there has not been a previous disciplinary context, starting projects will have to explore the process for the creation of contents in relation to its specific location, and the systems for graphic encoding, so its cultural, social and technical context will be built collectively with time.

Media(nera)Lab is structured as a cross visual platform that interrelates with other projects at Medialab-Prado, as it functions with the format of a workshop of collaborative production. Following the methodology of experimentation, the installation of this digital façade is a great challenge. So, the projects will have to pay special attention to the complexities and heterogeneities of the urban space.

The platform’s activities started in September 2009 with the debate that took place during the Seminar on Urban Screens and Public Space. The platform’s activity continued with Open Up, an open call to participate in a workshop for the creation of specific contents where 7 prototypes were developed.

During 2010, Media(nera)Lab has participated in the Media Facades Festival Europe 2010.

Projects for the digital façade can be presented through the open call for grants for contemporary creation Matadero Madrid.
