About the Project
The Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts (IDIA Lab) is Ball State University's center for creative technology, specializing in immersive and interactive experiences that combine art, design, media, and emerging technologies. Through the Center for Innovation and Collaboration, IDIA Lab helps transform innovative ideas into engaging public experiences, creating opportunities for students, faculty, and community partners.
Led by Ball State's IDIA Lab, this initiative will transform the Center for Innovation and Collaboration into an interactive hub for creativity, learning, and community engagement through a series of innovative public art experiences. By combining art, technology, and participation, the project will make innovation and collaboration more visible, accessible, and engaging for campus and community audiences.
