Ecolab generates subjectivities and dynamics in relation to the biosphere and its ecosystems, through the implementation of eco-technologies (high-tech and low-tech). It operates as a node of knowledge that generates education, research and production areas. The South Patio of Laboral is the physical space of ecoLAB, a place that, faced with an apparent formal disorder, hides the beauty and casual wealth of a non-garden. During 2011 and 2012, in collaboration with local and international artists, garden monitoring projects were developed with sensors, visualization of data in image and sound, prototyping of urban agriculture and vernacular architecture, among others.
