“It is high time to unleash the power of artistic intelligence!”

“It is high time to unleash the power of artistic intelligence!”

We are driven by the complex challenges facing humanity today: climate change, artificial intelligence, cultural conflicts.

Our passion is to filter future innovations and their applications in art, and to make them tangible in the form of encouraging perspectives for a present future.

To turn our vision into reality, we actively build bridges between art, applied art, natural sciences, humanities, and technologies.

Anchored in a metamodern culture and informed by artistic research, strategy, and dialogue, we offer a multidimensional program spanning exhibitions, artist talks, panel discussions, symposia, workshops, and publications.

To inspire innovation and leadership through art-based advisory services, we share our knowledge in ultra-contemporary art, systemic thinking, strategy design, idea generation, and value-driven communication with creatives and entrepreneurs on a case-by-case basis.

Since our founding in 2020, we have built a sound reputation as a curation platform that is particularly valued for its multisensory projects and transdisciplinary knowledge transfer.

Our international network extends beyond the art world, and we collaborate with leading universities, industrial companies, foresight and strategy consultancies, and creative agencies.

Creating a platform where artists and scientists come together to debate ‘How do we want to live?’ is key to developing ideas that make our world a little better and our thinking a little freer. An important step has been taken in Berlin to turn visions into reality.
