Pi Lab
Research lab for artists, scientists and engineers
Name
Pi Lab
Year
2020 — now
In October 2020, Fillip Studios founded Pi Lab.
Pi Lab is a lab in which artists, scientists and engineers jointly research the new creative and innovative possibilities within mathematics and physics.
Unexpected moments of collision create the most interesting discoveries.
The lab allows unexpected encounters to occur by combining the scientific and technical motives of knowledge, precision and predictability with artistic thinking. We are driven by wonder, beauty and the creation of new experiences.
In the coming years, our collaborative research will lead to new works of art, new scientific knowledge and new innovative applications.
