EVA Lab works as a co-creative and collaboration-based laboratory. Our projects emerge through dialogue between different departments, students, artists, researchers, cultural institutions, design and development studios, and international partners.
We are always open to new and exciting ideas that explore video games, interactive digital artworks, artistic research, art education, co-creation, cultural heritage, psychological well-being, or new ways of reaching audiences.
