Cultural Heritage Digitization & Fine Art Reproduction

About Us

miscLab Introduction

miscLab was founded in 2019. It is a hybrid cultural-heritage digitization laboratory and visual-arts studio, with workspaces in Beijing and Tianjin. At first, miscLab's goal was to help several founding members complete their personal image-based work to a high standard. Years of research and technical accumulation have given miscLab strong capabilities in artwork production and digitization. By standardizing its facilities, techniques and experience and opening them outward, miscLab now serves artists, art institutions, museums and collectors. These capabilities also provide support for the digital preservation of cultural heritage. Today, miscLab's work covers much of the art-making process and the main workflows of digital cultural-heritage preservation. Its work includes high-precision digitization, printing, bookmaking, publishing, framing and visual-arts project consulting. We hope to build a sustainable way of producing cultural and artistic images, grounded in stable technical workflows and an open studio model of collaboration.
