Art & Curation
We curate & produce exhibitions, artistic interventions, performances, and residencies for new media & internet-based art
Research Institution
Deepening tech discourse, theory & practice on critical technology through art, publishing, archival, and tooling.
Learning Lab
Programming programming on arts & technology through talks, workshops, classes, and discussion groups.
We are a community of creative technologists, artists, and researchers reshaping and demystifying the digital. Reclaiming technology as a tool for liberation rather than oppression, imagining more agentic, artful, and poetic ways of relating with technology: how it might be employed for human flourishing, justness, and new worlds.
Our work takes many forms: exhibitions, websites, publications, teaching, tooling — always as new infrastructures for more humane technologies.
From the third world, to many possible worlds.
