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

The Topological Media Lab
Co-directors: Alice Jarry, Michael Montanaro, David Morris
The Topological Media Lab [TML] approaches technologies research as a creative endeavour that cuts across disciplines and fields of experience. Its members investigate how people build, inhabit, use, sensate or activate space and matter. Studying processes of “agency and materiality from phenomenological, materialist, social and computational perspectives”, Topological Media Lab researchers work in the areas of the built environment, material-computational design within responsive environments, health, performance, music, and media arts.
