Medialab

Initiated in 2019 and officially established in December 2021, the Media Lab of Guangdong Times Museum is dedicated to contemplating and exploring the languages and traditions of art from the perspective of media and technology in an era of accelerated technological development. It aims to deliver a new vision of art and technology by experimenting with the ways in which digital media build new social relationships and foster cultural imagination through rehearsals and speculations.

*Media Lab ceased updating in October 2022 due to the suspension of the Times Museum. If you are interested in its projects, please contact ngjianru@gmail.com.
