Lovelace Labs / Department of Unusual Ideas

Curiosity,
engineered.

A small, independent laboratory for big ideas, strange questions and things that haven’t quite been invented yet.

Curiosity is encouraged. Explanations are optional.

LAB STATUS:Kettle: on. Hypotheses: brewing.

Section I — The Lab

A healthy disregard for the ordinary.

A. a question, slightly peculiarB. something real

Most things begin with a question.

Ours tend to be slightly peculiar.

We believe curiosity deserves somewhere to run wild. Somewhere ideas can collide, experiments can misbehave and the improbable can become surprisingly real.

Welcome to Lovelace Labs.

Please mind the experiments.

Section II — Our Thinking

The method behind the mild madness.

Section III — Experiments

Absolutely nothing to see here.

Some experiments are best left unexplained. Others just need a button.

Unit LL-7 · Do not press004127

Safety cover closed. As it should be.

So, what exactly happens here?

Excellent question.

We're working on some things.

Some rather interesting things, actually.

But where's the fun in telling you everything?

Classified
(more or less)

Section IV — Say Hello

Have a beautifully ridiculous idea?

We're rather fond of interesting conversations. Particularly the ones that start with ‘this might sound a bit strange…’
