Otolab was born in 2001 in Milan as an affinity group made up of musicians, djs, vjs, video artists, video makers,
web designers, graphic designers and architects who embarked on a common path within electronic music and audiovisual research. Otolab projects evolve through laboratory, seminar and liveset activities following principles of mutual exchange
and support, free dissemination of knowledge and experimentation.
The work-group is composed of individual and collective projects ranging from djing/vjing sets up to livemedia and interactive installations, always investigating a symbiotic relationship between sounds and images. These three years of life have seen Otolab being invited to national and international festivals where it has presented its livesets, project presentations and installations, besides having promoted self-managed cultural initiatives.
Otolab is today a cultural association which lives off its self-produced livesets, installations,
audio and audiovisual productions.
