Bootlab
Bootlab (originally Bootstraplab) is a non-profit organisation for the advancement of independent projects. Started in spring 2000 (officially founded in 2001), originally located in the historic Telegrafenamt in Berlin-Mitte. Bootlab provides studio, production and office space for groups and individuals (activists, artists, curators, engineers, filmmakers, programmers, publishers, writers etc.) working with old and/or new media technology. Bootlab e.V. has evolved from Mikro e.V. in winter 2000, with the aim to pursue the development of a critical public on the level of production.
In 2005(?) moved to a new location, Tucholskystrasse 6.
