Cyberspace and Technology Lab

Creating concrete, physical projects about cyberspace and technology.

In the late 1960s, artist Susanne Ussing coined the term “cyberspace” for several pieces of her art. Alongside partner Carsten Hoff, their Atelier Cyberspace work was invested in warmth and humanity, not dystopian futures. As Hoff explained, “[t]here nothing esoteric about [cyberspace]. Nothing digital, either. It was just a tool. The space was concrete, physical.” The Cyberspace and Technology (CAT) Lab, founded in 2022, pursues projects that capture the concrete, physical aspects of cyberspace and technology. Projects use art, code, and advocacy to create warmth and whimsy in cyberspace.
