English:IMAL (Q167922)

iMAL is an art center for digital cultures and technology, located in the center of Brussels. Our international position as pioneer in this field since 20+ years was reinforced in 2020 with the opening of our new venue, including a large exhibition space, an expanded state-of-the-art Fablab, a digital library and more. We support artistic and creative practices using (digital) technologies as their medium. Next to providing support for artists in their experimentation-, research- and production processes, iMAL is hosting art exhibitions, conferences, performances. Furthermore we also facilitates critical reflection, research and debates around the current and future challenges of our technological society, by stimulating cross-pollinations between art and technology.  With our wide range of activities and elaborated mediation program, we aim to empower people and inspire the next generations to actively participate in today's and future digital cultures. Our Fablab encourages social inclusion and innovation towards sustainable development within the local community of Molenbeek. As an organisation we offer a creative laboratory and a workplace for artists that want to work with new (digital) technologies. Through our residency programme, we provide support for artists in their experimentation, research and production.
