Neo Future: Shifting into new realities is a special short-term residency for people reaching beyond the familiar and investigating what may emerge next. Artificial intelligence, expanded consciousness, human transformation, singularity, future societies and realities not yet named form an open field for creative research.
The transdisciplinary program brings imagination, inquiry and experimentation together across art, science, design, technology, philosophy and unconventional forms of knowledge. It is process-focused rather than outcome-driven, creating space to question present assumptions, follow emerging ideas and develop perspectives that may not yet fit established categories.
