Our Purpose

罢丑别听ATLAS B2 Center for Media Arts & Performance is a community of radical researchers working at the intersection of art & technology. Part of the ATLAS Institute, B2 encourages collaborations, methodologies聽and productions that traverse borders and disciplines to build/unbuild the unimagined/re-imagined.聽

Equipped with an ambisonic sound array, motion capture studios, fully immersive green screens, and so much more, B2 offers research-artists the most innovative playspace in the region.

Partnerships

We value community as the key to what makes the B2 special and strive to build partnerships with likeminded organizations, creative collaborators and patrons.聽
