iLAB is a collaborative residency program between movement based artists and scientists, environmentalists, urban designers/landscape architects, architects and others that integrate creative practice within the different fields/disciplines through an engagement with the ecology of New York City.
The goals of iLAB are:
1) to invigorate and re-imagine relationships between the public and the urban environment through kinetic experience
2) to engage artists and practitioners across the disciplines of dance, art and the ecology of physical interrelationships such that we create and investigate innovative approaches to science, infrastructure, urbanisms and architecture within a performative context.
3) to support the development of process in engagement over product such that process is itself a product for artistic and public action.
