Milieux is an interdisciplinary graduate research institute for new media arts, digital culture and information technology at Concordia University in downtown Montreal.

We work with partners and collaborators from all sectors and across the world to examine, co-create and share ideas, prototypes, experiences and practices that challenge assumptions shaping digital culture.
