End of the year 2011, Digitalarti opened its Artlab in Paris. The Artlab is a center for research, development and prototyping, open to digital artists. It aims at gathering artists and technicians in a creative and collaborative way. Digitalarti's Artlab is a place with a multidisciplinary activity, where technology meets artistic creation.
The Artlab welcomes artists and technicians as artists in residency, free-lance technicians, visitors, or volunteers (learning by helping)… The projects are picked up based on several criteria: artistic and creative quality, technical knowledge, potential impact on the artist/technician career, input of the project to the Artlab development, ability of the project and its creator to match the life of the Artlab.
Jason Cook, an artist/technician, manages the Artlab, along with a network made up of artists and technicians.
