The Toolkit for the Inbetween is a collaborative project of The Hmm, a platform and laboratory for Internet and digital cultures; affect lab, a research-driven creative storytelling studio focused on an inclusive future; and MU, a Hybrid Art House with interdisciplinary exhibitions and innovative education.
