Feral Labs Network, a network of temporary dislocated hubs for research in art, technology and communities, interested in art-science, research and contemporary do-it-yourself (DIY) & do-it-with-others (DIWO) communities. Part of its activities include the organization of a series of camps and similar kinds of temporary creative environments.
Feral Labs Network Ι ferallabs.net
Partners will create temporary creative hubs that will vary in scope, format and topics covered, but will all have joint methodological starting points: temporary, international, remote, open and transdisciplinary (art-technology-science).
These actions will be additionally extended and connected via a strong transnational outreach and media strategy as well as community-oriented Artist-In-Residence programmes and Summer Camps.
The aim of these programmes is focused on creation & cross-pollination of knowledge and sharing in inclusive activities, exploring technological and environmental challenges, building a resilient network, rethinking and boosting the outreach beyond permanent Creative Hubs.
