2053 AD. Humankind has harnessed the super abilities of comic books and science fiction. And now the battle between good and evil continues at a heightened pace.

 

Scientists have enhanced crime fighters' human senses. The latest techniques and technology are applied to track down criminals. But these extraordinary abilities can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Evil has fought back. Reading minds and controlling people's thoughts are possible to the skilled few.

 

Roll back 40 years to 2013. How close are we to attaining these abilities? Probably closer than you think.

 

SuperLAB mixes science and art to explore the techniques artists use, how science and art influence each other, and whether the super abilities conjured up from comic books and science fiction can soon become a reality.
