LAB
LAB is Aldeburgh Education’s strand of Technology Residencies. Taking place at Snape and out in the surrounding area, these residencies aim to create a research and development platform for artists working with technology and music, alongside emerging media and other art forms.
New ways of presenting an artistic experience or creating new sounds/instruments are being explored, enhanced by the inclusion of school and community groups. These groups not only provide a test environment, but also add to the artistic process in that they are not stuck in a particular way of thinking about the arts: to many of them this is a world that they haven’t explored or even encountered.
