Four Four Beat Labs is an interactive media and pedagogical design incubator inspired by the Hip Hop Archive.

Our goal is to expand the traditional perspectives of “the classroom” space. That is, how it looks, where it happens, the archival resources used, and the limitless possibilities available when technological innovation meets pedagogical sensibility. We utilize the storied meanings of cultural artifacts to buildout interactive installations across analog, digital, and augmented platforms. The projects we incubate are guided by evidence-based design thinking.

Our Process

We use an evidence-based cultural approach that serves two purposes. One, it guides our analysis methodologies for extracting messaging from music and other forms of media. This process guides curriculum design. Two, it functions as a design rubric to guide the ideation and development process for creating computational making, ie digital archives, experimental digital art, interactive storytelling.
