Brown University Multimedia Labs

There are two multi-computer teaching facilities on campus. They are dedicated to the examination, analysis, and production of work in the arts and humanities using emerging computer technologies.

Malcolm S. Forbes Center for media and culture

The Forbes Center is the research branch of the Department of Modern Culture and Media. The Center sponsors conferences and lectures organized by MCM faculty, and research projects associated with the department. Topics of conferences that have been sponsored by the Center include: Television and Nationality; Modernism and Modernity; The Archeology of Digital Multi-Media and its archeology; and Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project. The Center has also sponsored or supported several public events that exhibit media texts normally difficult to access in the U.S. Examples include: a festival of Portuguese and Lusophone cinema; festivals of French and Francophone cinema; and a festival of Turkish diaspora cinema in Germany. The Center also supports the Modernist Journals Project, which is constructing fully-searchable online editions of English-language journals and magazines that were important in shaping modes of art and literature that came to be called modernist.
