This lab is promoted by the CAAA and is aimed at 3rd year LAV students, but is open to all interested parties and is limited to the gallery space.

The exhibition Net Art[e] no Triângulo das Bermudas focuses on the relationship between art and the internet in Portugal, since the stabilization of the internet in the country in 1995.

The exhibition includes 14 artistic projects created by artists and designers in Portugal, showing some of the creative potential of this media. The exhibition is documental in nature, comprising a set of initiatives that reveal the signs of the arrival, development and assimilation of web-related technoculture in the country.
