As far as we know, no actual meth was inhaled during the making of this sonically glitchy, visually twisting interactive art project. Methlab Agency is just the name of the label that Memory of a Broken Dimension’s Ezra Hanson, a.k.a. XRA, collaborated with to bring together shrill, metallic-sounding beats with his trademark swirl of hypnotic, abstract, grayscale software. From poking around Methlab's website, they remind me of a noisy Planet Mu if that helps any.
The project, simply called Methlab // XRA Interactive Collaboration, is not dissimilar from many others like it where you navigate cool-looking abstract shapes while listening to cool-sounding electronic music. But the differentiator is that this one is engineered by XRA who has art house skills at stitching together glitchy, digital wefts from binary code.
