About Us
Mercer Labs challenges the format of a museum, hierarchies between art and its environment are dissolved. With every brushstroke of code and every meticulously designed interactive interface, we investigate uncharted territory.
At 36,000 sq ft, the architectural narrative of Mercer Labs, hosts, fifteen exhibition spaces in which experiments in art are conducted using technology as the blank canvas. The ever-evolving experience invites you to explore the world through another point of view.
Through interactive experiences and unique listening encounters, testing, research, and a commitment to the symbiotic relationship between art and technology we move into the new era of creative expression. We invite you to embrace your unapologetically original self, and the uniqueness of your experience.
As we allow disciplines to merge the creative potential of the transformative power of technology is fully unbound. Mercer Labs serves as a platform for all creatives to explore new frontiers. A place where diversity and inclusivity are celebrated, Mercer Labs, is a reflection of change.
