Baltan Laboratories is located in the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven. Baltan is an important initiator of art and technologybased projects and research in the south of the Netherlands. Baltan supports creatives at an early stage in their creative process, facilitates new connections between them and its own network, and makes these processes transparent. Learning and experimentation form an integral part of Baltan’s activities. Baltan aims to promote the integration between the cultural, industrial and educational sectors by acting as a driving agent. Baltan maintains a large network of international partners in the fields of the arts, science, education and business. Baltan conducts theoretical research into the Lab model through discussions with colleagues and the wider public (The Future of the Lab expert meeting). Baltan participates in ‘Techno-Ecologies, Other Approaches to Cultural, Social and Ecological Sustainability’, a collaborative project implemented by RIXC (Latvia) with project parters ARS LONGA (FR), the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts and the Finnish Society of Bioart, Liepaja University / Art Research Lab (Latvia), Napon (Russia), and the Vilnius Academy of Arts / Nida Art Colony (LT) Baltan Laboratories also shares an international residency programme with the Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New York City. This collaborative residency is organized around the theme of 'Cultural Economies'.
