Amplifier is a nonprofit design lab based in Los Angeles, operating within the think tank landscape. The organization develops art and media projects that aim to amplify social movements, grounded in open source art and a human-centered design process that explores the convergence of analog and digital technologies. Its work emphasizes collaborative, community-driven experimentation rather than traditional services, seeking to broaden public engagement with urgent societal issues. Targeting communities and institutions involved in advocacy and cultural production, Amplifier partners with universities and cultural organizations to extend the reach of activist art and educational materials. The nonprofit status and its focus on timely movements position Amplifier within the intersection of design, activism, and public discourse, pursuing inclusivity and accessibility through its open approach to art and media. A recent collaboration with Binghamton University Libraries demonstrates its role in curatorial exhibitions and experiential storytelling in educational settings.
