Brooklyn Research
Brooklyn Research is an interdisciplinary creative space focused on technological innovation. We provide a platform for established artists, technologists, and futurists to create engaging discourse and experimentation. Through innovative workshops, lectures, and digital media, we hope to build an empowered audience through an understanding of the technology that informs our daily lives.
As technology continues to integrate with society at large, the perceived boundaries between science, art & design will continue to dissolve. As a multidisciplinary space, we believe in a non-hierarchical epistemology; conditions of knowledge are predicated on the lateral movement of ideas. We welcome different methodologies of interrogation, but ultimately our goal is to create a space for technological innovation and futurist expressions.
