The Bio∞LUDIC∞laB functions as an experimental Wunderkammer and a symbiotic incubator for collaboration and production, in alignment with the ongoing projects of the University of Applied Arts Vienna - especially with EXPERIMENTAL GAME CULTURES.

Serving as a portal to unlimited worlds of imaginary solutions, the Bio∞LUDIC∞laB synthesises art, ludic methods, science and nature establishing the „Bioludic Wide Web“ for a sustainable bioludic society. Here, we cultivate and nurture experimental relationships among humans, non-humans, nature, games and technology. As a hybrid and experimental environment operating in both digital and physical realms, the Lab serves as a dynamic hub for connection and collaboration. Through immersive presentations, interactive workshops, and knowledge dissemination, students and experts are encouraged to participate in bioludic design projects, while visitors are invited to explore and engage with our ongoing initiatives. Explorations at the Bio∞LUDIC∞laB span diverse topics such as biocellulose, bacteria, fungi, algae, slime mold, soil, plants, and other non-human entities. These themes are distilled through the creation of an experimental ludic glossary and biomaterial library, aimed at fostering the development of innovative artefacts and materials. The impact of these activities is preserved in a continually expanding bioludic nexus, encompassing both digital platforms and physical exhibitions of current and future bioludic objects.
