The Aesthetic Technologies Lab of Ohio University’s College of Fine Arts is the inter-disciplinary project incubator developed through support from the Creativity Through Technology Initiative, funded by the Ohio Board of Regents. Serving as the trans-disciplinary research and development arm of the college, the “@Lab” provides cutting-edge digital media resources such as software for high-end computation, 3D rendering and motion capture experimentation. By offering workshops and lectures and by opening its resources to faculty and students, the @Lab provides the university with a collaborative project hub, post-disciplinary scholarship think-tank and center for innovation.
