Harp Art Lab is a laboratory for sound art situated in Harplinge Windmill on the Swedish west coast. The Lab is a unique platform for developing innovative and interdisciplinary ideas and we work with artists and communities of interest to create performances and installations. Our main methodology is a socially engaged and discursive sound art practice. The motivations behind our work are predominantly environmental, political and social in as much as we are attempting to re-mediate contested territories in a scientific and creative way to the public. Harp Art Lab was founded in 2010 by the artists Mikael Ericsson and Julie Ericsson. Website: http://www.harpartlab.se
