LabArteMídia (the Laboratory for Arts, Media, and Digital Technologies) is an audiovisual arts research and innovation group linked to the Department of Cinema, Radio and Television and the Postgraduate Program in Audiovisual Media and Processes at the School of Communication and Arts ECA-USP at the University of São Paulo. It is certified by CNPq and ECA-USP.

Created in 2016, LabArteMídia researches the resources and experimental potential of computer systems in the creation of digital audiovisual content in interactivity and convergence between screens, multiplatforms and X-Reality environments.
