MAD is a hub for innovation and creative action: building bridges between the technology / science and the social / human domains. Connecting communities. Disrupting old paradigms. Hacking with artists. Make the Future.
MAD acts as a laboratory, platform and provider of Emergent Art: art that arises from the tension between cultural – and cutting-edge technology. MAD maintains its interfaces as large as possible and focuses on artists, designers, scientists, technologists, public interest groups, educational institutions, governments and businesses. This takes place both regionally, nationally and internationally. The use of networks like the Internet, ICT and new media offer the possibility to represent interactive research, development, presentation, production, distributions, and discussions that are accessible for public.
Being an open laboratory we offer opportunities for startups in their early stage to grow and connect.
A variety of hackathons, meetups and events is organised to develop cross overs between sectors and professions.
