About us

A creative ground for hackademics at the intersection of media arts, sciences and technologies.

Creating inNOVAtive solutions to advance research

iNOVA Media Lab brings together researchers and practitioners working at the intersections of digital media arts, sciences and technologies. We envision transdisciplinary collaboration as aesthetic experience and scientific inquiry.

Our mission is to bridge artistic, scientific and technological methodologies creating new possibilities for contemporary and future media. We aim to translate scientific knowledge into real solutions for contemporary societies, addressing the problem of a broken intermediation between research and development institutions, communities and the industry.

At iNOVA Media Lab, we believe in a digital renaissance: a theorist-practitioner research model based upon a native scientific setting – digital media laboratories as studios – conceived as trading zones for boundary communication methodologies and artifacts.
