re:future lab is an independent institute for art and future design—inspired by the complex challenges facing humanity today: climate change, artificial intelligence, and cultural conflicts.
Through the kaleidoscope of art, we help people explore, experience, and discuss new perspectives on themselves, on natural and artificial coexistence, and on global interconnections.
Our passion lies in the question of how art can lead to creative breakthroughs and transformative ideas.
To make our vision a reality, we actively build bridges between art, science, and society. We collaborate with leading universities, cultural institutions, associations, innovative companies, strategy consultancies, and design agencies.
Rooted in a metamodern culture and informed by artistic research, systemic thinking, and transdisciplinary dialogue, we offer a multidimensional program that encompasses exhibitions, artist talks, panel discussions, symposia, workshops, and publications.
To foster ingenuity and leadership through art-based consulting services, we share our expertise in the fields of artistic intelligence, future thinking, and value-driven transformation design with innovative and entrepreneurial minds on a case-by-case basis.
Since our founding in 2020, we have established a solid reputation as a curatorial outreach platform that addresses key future issues through multisensory projects and transdisciplinary knowledge transfer.
Discover the wide range of our projects, from exhibitions, conferences, and symposia to artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, and interviews.
