LABORATORIUM questions and initiates conversations around the combination of artistic and scientific practices, with a special interest in colour. It takes advantage of its unique position to reach different stakeholders within the creative and scientific sectors. The lab's methodology combines hands-on making in which scientific and experimental methods blend from a sustainable perspective. 

 <br> <br>

 We identify 3 phases which are crucial for the lab to operate:
<br>
<b>ACTIVATION</b>: We are intrinsically curious about colour coming from nature and investigate how the lab can explore and link between nature and colour, reducing environmental impact in the context of art and design. Hands-on research through making goes hand in hand with constructing a theoretical framework.  
<br>
<b>IMPLEMENTATION</b>: biolab accommodates and facilitates hands-on research to help finding practical applications (design) and materialising artistic concepts (arts). In this iteration, the process of application and making, and the theoretical and practical research are questioned and refined.
<br><br>
<b>INNOVATION</b>: Biolab has established itself as an expertise centre in colour, in which innovation is key. The innovative research naturally finds its way back into the activation and implementation phase.
