Not enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show it passes notability criteria. Current sourcing is either from primary sources (either Harvard itself, or the Harvard Gazette), or are simple mentions. In fact, at least 6 of the current sources do not appear to mention the lab at all (#s 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, and 18). Searches turned up much of the same trivial mentions. There is another organization called MetaLab, Ltd., which is indeed notable, and another entity called Metalab, also notable. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:52, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

• Delete. Wow, it researches the intersection of art, design, society, and artificial intelligence? What does that even mean? Has there been any meaningful output of... whatever this thing is, beyond a couple fluff pieces and gallery websites including its exhibitions in lists? This is fairly dissonant with the description of an idea foundry with a leading position in the field of experimental arts and humanities. jp×g 07:17, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
