The Performative Environments Art Research Laboratory (PEARL) researches various kinds of performance arts making use of technological media and their related practices. Computer Music formed an early starting point for this exploration. Since 2018, the scope of research expanded to dance, and since 2021 other types of performance arts such as theatre and other narrative art forms are also included. Members of the lab have varied backgrounds ranging from composition, sound design, theatre and dance to programming and digital technology.
