Team
The team of Larbitslab is being formed by Bénédicte Jacobs Researcher in Social Media at the Free University of Brussels and her sister Laure-Anne Jacobs, an artist specialized in digital media. Together, they have formed a duo named LarbitsSisters.
Bénédicte Jacobs is a Social Media Researcher at the Centre de Théorie Politique at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. She is graduated in Philosophy and Literature and holds a postgraduate in Information and Communication Sciences. Her research investigates the phenomenon of transformation of the public space and explores the role of rules and regulation mechanisms governing the public domain and the strategies for use and interaction. She is particularly interested in the logics of interaction such as the dynamics of individualization in the production of public expression. Her current research focuses on the ethical, legal and political challenges raised by the phenomenon of the indexation of traceability on the net.

Laure-Anne Jacobs studied monumental arts in Sint-Lucas Academy in Ghent. She took part in several exhibition projects, frequently with art integrated contents. The rising digital media formed an important role within the evolution of the work of the artist. Photography, video or film, internet and interactivity form the basis of her work. The expression and the design of her art project finds frequently their origin in daily observation. Public space, society issues take part of elementary pillars of her art work and forms the real framework to realize art projects giving expression behind meanings.
