Geschichte

The Centre for Digital Cultures (CDC), affiliated to Leuphana University of Lüneburg, scrutinises this shift through research in disciplines such as media, cultural and social studies, through knowledge creation and transfer, as well as through experimental and interventionist media practices. It sets up a network and an experimental space, where partners from industry, academic research, and civil society not only talk and think with each other, but also cooperate and develop new concepts, formats, applications, and interventions.

The connected Di­gi­tal Cul­tu­res Re­se­arch Lab (DCRL) aims to fur­ther de­ve­lop, sys­te­ma­ti­ze and in­ter­na­tio­na­li­ze the re­se­arch area of di­gi­tal me­dia, al­re­a­dy a dis­tinc­tive fea­ture of Leu­pha­na Uni­ver­si­ty. The Re­se­arch Lab’s work is the­re­fo­re clo­se­ly con­nec­ted to the In­sti­tu­te for Cul­tu­re and Aes­t­he­tics of Di­gi­tal Me­dia, the ex­ten­si­ve me­dia re­se­arch and de­ve­lop­ment-ac­tivi­ties wi­t­hin the In­no­va­ti­on-In­cu­ba­tor In­sti­tu­te of Ad­van­ced Stu­dies on “Me­dia Cul­tu­res of Com­pu­ter-Si­mu­la­ti­on” (mecs).
