Learning from what was, to support what could be
Artifacts — the traces of human thought, craft, and expression — are how futures get made. Artifact Futures is a research-driven institute at the intersection of culture, technology, and ideas, convening scholars, technologists, artists, and practitioners around questions no single field can hold alone.
Its work takes shape through the ARTIFACT Journal, panels, symposiums, and public programs — and through the Spark Program, which supports early-stage founders, artists, and cultural practitioners building at the frontier of technology and human experience.
Three Pillars
Journal A publication that gathers voices from the studio, the lab, the archive, and the field. Each issue approaches the most urgent questions of our time through the lenses of culture, knowledge, and human experience.
Institute Panels, symposiums, events, and research collaborations that move across geographies and the usual distances between creative and technological communities. Networks spanning the United States, China, the Middle East, and Europe.
Spark A pre-seed investment and storytelling partnership for founders, artists, and cultural practitioners building at the intersection of technology and human experience. Launching at London Tech Week, June 2026.
