Labs in Crisis and the Crisis of the Labs

Medialabmx is a civil association and an autonomous space, based in Mexico City, dedicated to the investigation of the links between art, technology and politics. Founded in 2013, Medialabmx works with different expressions of electronic media and artisan technology, for the development of artistic and pedagogical projects that seek to question the tools, forms of organization, and discourses that define the current technological landscape.
Brenchies Lab: It is one of the three spaces for citizen creation and experimentation in Aruba, this place offers the community a space to develop digital production projects with a social sense.
The Interconnectivity Laboratory (Mx) is a nomadic space of
hackfeminist experimentation that has worked since the beginning of 2014 in
the development of self-defense strategies and digital collective care;
in inhabiting the internet as a political and affective territory of struggle, enjoyment and
encounter, and in the provocation of ecosystems of free culture in different
Internet interfaces, Mexico and Latin America.
