Integrating humanistic inquiry with cutting-edge technology and design, CAMLab explores innovative, interdisciplinary ways of showcasing art and culture through immersive installations, exhibitions, films, digital publications, and other multimedia forms.
CAMLab creates and curates forward-looking, experimental work that explores enduring questions of human consciousness. Using cutting-edge multimedia storytelling and multi-sensory technologies, we model cultural and historical experiences that engage and transport participants beyond the here and now, across the continuum of time and space.
Guiding modern audiences through these immersive, imaginative spaces, we enable them to discover and access forms of knowledge that are otherwise impossible.
No two CAMLab projects are the same—but each is grounded in a process that incorporates both expansive research and groundbreaking creative practice.
In some instances, digital technology and sensorial techniques breathe new life into an archival record. In others, it’s the archival record that lends form, substance, and nuance to projects that begin as aesthetic concepts.
Located at 485 Broadway—just outside Harvard Yard—CAMLab Cave opened in the fall of 2022. It serves as a hub of innovative forms of knowledge production, pedagogy, and sensorial media practice. During Public Visits, Harvard FAS CAMLab welcomes audiences to explore immersive installations that stage cultural history with digital technologies.
September 22 – November 18, 2023 | Fridays & Saturdays | 12:00 – 6:00 pm
All are welcome. Reserving a ticket in advance is required; tickets are pay-as-you-want, with a suggested $10.00 for non-Harvard visitors. Proceeds directly support CAMLab’s future research and projects.
