The Media Lab is a unit focusing on digital design within the Department of Media at the School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland. The lab provides MA and Doctoral education, and does research on design and production of digital culture, digital media, interaction design and technologies and the effect they have on society. Media Lab Helsinki is a coordinator and a partner in number of international research, design and development projects focusing on digital technology, media and culture. == History == Media Lab Helsinki was founded in 1993. The first MA program was started in 1994 and the first research group assembled in 1996. Since its formation the Media Lab has been part of a relatively active digital culture scene in Helsinki and its surroundings. Since 1995 Media Lab has collaborated in, generated and coordinated research and development projects funded by the European Commission, Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation), Nordic Council, UNESCO and a number of industrial partners, including Nokia, Elisa, TeliaSonera, Sanoma, YLE and MTV3. In 1998 the lab became an official department at the university, having existed as a separate unit until then. In January 2000 the Media Centre Lume – the National Research and Development Center of audiovisual media – was officially opened. Lume is located in the same premises as the Media Lab and offers its resources for study and research projects carried out in the Lab. Experimental and interactive video productions are common in Lume. In 2003, the Ministry of Education Finland chose Media Lab as one of the national top educational units. In 2006 Media Lab was invited to the Ars Electronica. The ''Beta Lounge'', Campus Exhibition presented over 20 works by Media Lab's MA, DA and alumni students and its four research groups. 2008 saw the beginnings of Aalto University, a new university. Aalto is the fusion of the University of Art and Design Helsinki where Media Lab is located, Helsinki School of Economics and Helsinki University of Technology. In 2010, as part of Aalto reorganisation, the Media Lab joined forces with Photography and Graphic Design, formerly of the Visual Culture department, to create a new, larger Department of Media with the School of Arts, Design and Architecture. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Media Lab Helsinki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
