ASKlabs
is passionate about Advancing Scientific Knowledge. Our work focusses
on three key program areas: SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY, ENVIRONMENT, and ART.
The following projects are in various stages of development and production.
For more information: 
SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY
These projects feature scientists at work pushing the boundaries of human
knowledge. They are discovering new species of marine life in extreme
ecosystems, and trying to understand the genetic basis of symbiosis. They
are taking matters into their own hands and building alternative fuel
vehicles in their garage workshops. We demystify their research and put
it into context so the public can truly appreciate the relevance and importance
of the scientific endeavor.
Coral Reef Biology: Genomics, Symbiosis, Diversity
Garage Inventors: Space, Alternative Fuel Vehicles
Neo-Evolution
FutureCulture (Website) Produced a website in collaboration
with graphic designer Ray Larabie about technologies that may change what
it means to be human
ENVIRONMENT
We examine technology's impact on the environment. Education is the first
step toward conservation.
SlowDialogues A series of discussions around topics of
sustainability and environmentally-conscious design and building. In collaboration
with SLOWlab
(the non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of slow design
and sustainability).
Aftermath:
Food, Garbage, Recycling
When Man Walked the Earth: Genetics, Robotics, Nanotechnology
World Water Project
Global Patterns: Global Warning Signs
Alliance for Climate Protection Provided content on "how
to live greener" for former VP Al Gore's Live Earth concerts to benefit
the environment.
Fish Story (Website) Created website for a PBS documentary
film about commercial fishing in Gloucester, MA.
ART
These films highlight science and technology in the most unexpected places:
the engineering of large-scale and kinetic artworks.
Cabinet of Curiosities
Seeing the Landscape: Richard Serra's Tuhirangi Contour
Electrum: Science as Art
