Artists, architects, and designers play an important role in revealing
‘invisible’ aspects of cities, often providing new insights into how our
cities function and develop. To rethink the ‘invisible city’ under the
pressure of rapid urbanization, this edition of Test_Lab will feature a
selection of freshly graduated artists, architects, and designers from
European art and design academies whose projects explore the invisible
aspects of our contemporary urban environments. The selected projects
range from artistic representations of invisible cities, to simulations
of urban economy and concrete scenarios for urban production and energy
development. As it is custom to the Test_Lab event series, the audience
will form the critical test panel for the demonstrated works and will be
invited to examine each graduation project 'hands-on'.

Test_Lab: The Invisible City will be streamed live in this page, July
8, starting 8 p.m. CET.
