Dr. Alice Jarry and her team work across three spaces: The Milieux Institute Speculative Life Biolab, EV. 7.725, and the Next Generation Cities Institute.

The Milieux Institute Speculative Life Biolab
Director: Alice Jarry
The Milieux Speculative Life BioLab is a hybrid research-creation laboratory for the development and facilitation of conceptual and material-based exploration around the changing status of life on the planet and technosphere from an interdisciplinary perspective. The laboratory currently hosts a Biosafety Level 1 certified wet lab for working with living and electronic media, hosting both wet and dry ‘maker’ processes and materials.

EV. 7.725
Co-directors: Alice Jarry, Shauna Janssen
The space supports the initial stages of research-creation projects led by faculty in the fine arts that intersect performance and material practices. It aims to mobilize a community of fine-arts faculty undertaking hands-on artistic investigations that require space and time for prototyping and for workshop-based exploration of research methods for performance and material practices. We host micro-residencies for fine-arts faculty researchers, and we foster collaboration and facilitate exchanges between fine-arts faculty, graduate students, and postdocs through salons, guest artists, and talks.
