Research in
service of
humanity.
Exploring the life-affirming power of connection.
Building what comes next.
A human question. An interdisciplinary pursuit.
What becomes possible
when people connect?
Our work begins with humanity: mental health, belonging, and the life-affirming effects of connection.
Founded in 2019, eResonate Media Lab and Research Center brings together perspectives from technology, media, the social sciences, and the arts to explore the relationship between people and the digital world.
Years of research, testing, and novel thinking culminated in eResonate. The platform carries that work into a new setting: live music and shared human experience.
Many disciplines.
One human purpose.
The lab’s work spans industries and fields of study. These are the broad areas that inform our perspective.
01People & society
Human connection sits at the center of the lab’s purpose, bringing questions of mental health, community, learning science, and human behavior into the same conversation.
02Media & culture
Entertainment and media are part of how people express themselves and experience culture together. The lab’s areas of focus include livestream broadcasting and the people, practices, and places behind shared cultural experiences.
03Technology & intelligence
Engineering, data science, artificial intelligence, and virtual environments bring technical perspectives to the lab’s interdisciplinary work and the development of the eResonate platform.
04Networks & participation
The lab’s focus includes social networking, social media, and internet platforms: the digital environments in which people meet, participate, and share experiences.
05Economics & ecosystems
Economics and advertising science form another part of the lab’s broad perspective, alongside the music industry and the ecosystem of live music venues.
This is an overview of our areas of focus. The lab’s research is confidential and belongs to its stakeholders.
