OpenLAB The Mechanics of Truth - Festival

Over the course of the year, LAB 5 The Mechanics of Truth has explored the technological production of the real: how facts are assembled, how beliefs are manufactured, how perception is under constant pressure, and how models and simulations can manipulate it or come to its rescue. 

OpenLAB brings it to a close. 

Across three days of talks and presentations, artists, technologists, designers, thinkers and programme participants take up these questions through artistic research practices, grassroots innovation and visions that run counter to the commercial mainstream. These include the prototypes from the Collaborative Prototyping Lab, developed by 25 participants selected through an international open call.
