Projects

As a research commons, the DLRC works at the same time as a dynamic co-working space and a home for diverse projects focused on shaping and studying the future through the lens of technology, engagement, and experimentation. The DLRC welcomes any project that research and practice around the complex processes that shape our future and operate at the intersections of culture, human interactions, art, social media, infrastructure and technology systems. 

Many local and international initiatives find a home at DLRC, including but not limited to the projects listed on this page.

As a Commons, the projects are always evolving as research groups, workshops and other projects are integrated into the network. If you would like to integrate your project into our Commons, please contact us.
