Artlab

What Artlab does

Artlab is a Buenos Aires-based creative laboratory focused on art, technology, and digital culture, operating primarily as a cultural institution and event producer rather than a software product company. Its portfolio spans curated exhibitions, AV performances, live shows, artist residencies, workshops, and symposia at the intersection of music, multimedia arts, and digital installations. Founded in 2021 (with operational roots dating to 2016 at the Centro Cultural Kirchner), Artlab is a node in the international MUTEK Festival of Digital Creativity network and was formally designated a Centro Cultural Argentino in 2023. Founder and CEO Mark Mils leads the organization.

The revenue model combines professional services (artistic production for institutions, residency programming, commissioned projects) with transactional income from event ticketing through an online booking system at tickets.artlabpro.net. The organization serves three customer groups: cultural institutions and arts organizations seeking digital-art programming, music and multimedia artists participating in residencies and showcases, and general audiences purchasing tickets for exhibitions and performances. Distribution is anchored at its own venue in Buenos Aires (Roseti 93), supported by content marketing through the company blog, social channels, and international festival participation.

The service portfolio includes "Producciones de Artlab" (artistic productions), an "IA Studio" (AI Studio), the "Artlab Residencias Artísticas" program, gallery programming ("Galería"), event listings ("Agenda"), venue rental, and a Pro membership tier. Artlab maintains an extensive international partnership footprint — including British Council, Goethe Institute, Alianza Francesa, Canadá Council for the Arts, Fundación Japón, Somerset House Studio, CBA Cultura, and Argentine universities UNTREF and UNSAM — which provides access to global artist networks and cross-border programming opportunities. The organization is privately held with no disclosed funding, M&A activity, or external investors.

• MUTEK: MUTEK is the international network of digital art and electronic music festivals of which Artlab is an Argentine node. They share the same curatorial language (digital creativity, AV performances, multimedia installations) and operate as the closest comparable brand in the global digital-arts festival circuit.
• Somerset House Studios: Somerset House Studios is a London-based artist residency and cultural production hub. It is a direct peer of Artlab's residency program and is also a named institutional partner of Artlab, making the comparison tight on both programming and business model.
• CTM Festival: CTM is a Berlin-based festival for adventurous music and art, with a strong focus on audiovisual performance and digital culture. It shares Artlab's curatorial emphasis on interdisciplinary experimentation and emerging digital-art formats.

Emerging players

• Pioneer Works: Pioneer Works is a Brooklyn-based cultural center combining residencies, exhibitions, and live programming. It is comparable to Artlab as a community-led venue and residency operator, though broader in discipline (music, science, visual art) and serving a different geography.

Broad incumbents

It is a broad incumbent in the same cultural space, with much larger scale and public-sector backing, and acts as a reference point for Artlab's positioning within the Argentine cultural ecosystem.
