About

Cultural experimentation anticipates a disobedient attitude that facilitates cultural reversion and creative collision. When experiments become an attitude, a wide spectrum of cultural initiatives and fresh paths will unfold and extend like water, shock, sonic, light, or electric waves.

C-LAB hopes to showcase the cultures of contemporary creators, makers, sharers and participants to nurture a fresh ecology of cultural creation, which emerges as a cloud sharing platform for all contemporary readers, utilizing humanistic digital technologies while incorporating contemporary art perspectives as well as cultural observation to introduce innovation into society through culture.

CLABO, an online journal published by C-LAB, aims to create confluences of cultural creators and serve as a community platform for all partners of cultural experiment projects. With unprecedented cultural experiments, we have started bravely venturing into the future!
