soundLab

The Sound Lab is a small-scale flexible space where aspiring entrepreneurs, engineers and artists come together to explore connections between technology, music, sound, visual arts and movement. It is a low-stakes community of learners, where experimentation is encouraged and failure is seen as a necessary step in an iterative process of produced design, fabrication and innovation. Our lab is rooted in constructionist theories pioneered by Seymour Papert and others.
