The exhibition Materia prima –that will be at LABoral until nexte May 8- is a lab for citizens that brings together art, science and technology with the purpose of generating a space where artistic production and scientific research come together, providing the public with the keys and the tools needed for reflection, experimentation and the critical and creative use of technology.
