Aalto Media Lab<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

The Media Lab was founded in 1994 and is now a part of the Department of Media at the\u00a0School of Arts, Design and Architecture\u00a0of the\u00a0Aalto University.<\/p>\n

The mission of the Media Lab is to explore, discover and comprehend the new digital technology and its impact in society; to find and exploit the possibilities it opens to communication, interaction and expression and to evaluate, understand and deal with the challenges it poses to design and creative production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Demo Day<\/h2>\n

Already in the late 1990s we adopted the slogan, \u2018hands on with minds on\u2019 to explain our work. We also adopted the \u2018demo or die\u2019 attitude of other Media Labs and formalised this into bi-annual Demo Days, organised at the end of each term. Our Demo Days have become regular events at which we demonstrate our work to each other and the \u2018outside world\u2019, people from other departments and schools, companies, partners and prospective partners. Demo Days are also a chance to have fun together before the onset of the vacations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
