DIGITAL
MATERIALITY
LAB
At the Digital Materiality Lab we explore the many ways in which the digital and the material worlds collide, fuse, converge or clash and how people perceive and interact with new hybrid materials that sense the environment, objects that display autonomous behaviours, and spaces that react to people.
We are a transdisciplinary research group based in the Art & Design Research Centre: starting from art and design, our work moves across disciplinary boundaries reaching out to computing, psychology and human computer interaction.
Our research methods range from controlled laboratory experiments to design research, from co-design and to research in-the-wild. We apply our expertise and the knowledge acquired throughout our research in the real world via consultancy and knowledge transfer activities.
