The Innovation Center at The New School and Parsons School of Design in New York City. 

At the Innovation Center, we foster creativity and collaboration to spark transdisciplinary exploration and drive new experiences and ventures. Through our three labs — Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Extended Reality (XR ) — we leverage emerging technologies in synergy with art, design, social research, and the performing arts to develop impactful curricula and projects that have a positive impact on the world.

We bring together faculty, students, industry and corporate partners, startups, cultural institutions, and policymakers to cultivate an innovation ecosystem. Through academic programs, design jams, hackathons, public events, and publications, we spark purposeful exploration and collaborations. By combining cutting-edge technology, user-centric design, and ethical considerations, we craft future-focused narratives and create meaningful prototypes, exhibitions, performances, and products that inspire positive change.
