To nie jest muzeum, to jest laboratorium
This is not a museum, it’s a laboratory

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to describe how the humanities is “moving” to laboratories both metaphorically (the lab as a paradigm) and literally (produced by humanities labs). The combination of the humanities and the laboratory – theory and practice – is present in the digital humanities in particular. Discussion of the issue is focused on the Electronic Literature Lab at Washington State University in Vancouver, run by prof. Dene Grigar (Head of the Electronic Literature Organization). The Electronic Literature Lab shows how the digital humanities combines programming with creative writing (creating kinetic literary projects) and media archaeology with the history of electronic literature (the protection of and access to songs from the 1980s and 1990s).
