BeAnotherLab Information

BeAnotherLab is an award-winning media laboratory organised as an independent art-science research collective, founded in 2012. We connect neuroscientific research experiments with media art to create participatory, interactive and immersive experiences. Our two key systems are The Machine To Be Another and The Library of Ourselves. Each technology is not only a system but a methodology and comes with a range of set-ups and modes of application. With our work, we aim to connect people across differences and to reflect collaboratively on the relationship between empathy and identity in its situated context. BeAnotherLab is registered as a non-profit cultural organisation in Barcelona. All our works are published under the Creative Commons Share Alike license.
