A collaborative space where artists, scientists, and students can learn about and experiment in the vibrational arts.
VibraFusionLab is a Canada Council, SSHRC and Ontario Arts Council funded project that represents the combination of the arts with academia and accessibility. Working with the Inclusive Media Design labs at Ryerson University, and Tactile Audio Displays Inc., David Bobier, founder and director of the VibraFusionLab brings art, access, and academia together to help build a community of inclusive arts.
The community is growing every day, and with every workshop, concert, and organization that takes place at VibraFusionLab.
David Bobier, founder and director of the VibraFusionLab is a Canadian artist pioneering the vibrotactile arts. This includes vibrations both alone and in combination with video and audio media formats.
