AF develops and runs projects for finding, collecting, studying and creating images of the futures. Our interdisciplinary projects combine creative, experimental, artistic and participatory approaches with futures research.
AF tackles the challenges of visual documentation, illustration and storytelling about futures. The future is not an objective physical reality, available to visit for shooting footage. Our solution is to seek out subjective imagination in participatory projects. The tools for understanding what is at stake and what is possible come from the field of futures studies, communications theories, visual arts theory and practice.
AF started as an experimental set-up and the small unit keeps adapting and evolving as technological, cultural, research and media landscapes themselves continue to change.
