Projects

Our projects are created in the context of a thriving networked culture towards a collaborative, peer to peer philosophy and practice of art.

Collaboration and freedom – the world of free and open source art

This is a collection of artworks, texts and resources about freedom and openness in the arts, in the age of the Internet. Freedom to collaborate – to use, modify and redistribute ideas, artworks, experiences, media and tools. Openness to the ideas and contributions of others, and new ways of organising and making decisions together.

Online: A Crowded Apocalypse

In this project by IOCOSE, comissioned in partnership between AND Festival and Furtherfield, the artists will exploit crowdsourcing as a tool for the creation of a shared belief. The “crowd” will assemble its own conspiracy which will involve them again, at the end, as human beings.

Games Art

Furtherfield's Game Art programme draws on interdisciplinary practice that takes the engines and culture of digital games as the tools and materials of art practice.

Artists' work in this field connects both with mainstream art world interests and atypical-audiences-for-art engaging them with aesthetic and game-play experiences that have them question the world in enjoyable ways.

Furtherfield Media Art Ecologies 2009-12

Furtherfield supports experimental practices at the intersections of art, technology and social change. Many of these practices share an ecological approach - an interest in the interrelation of technological and natural processes: beings and things, individuals and multitudes, matter and patterns. They have been developing for nearly half a century, but their effects become especially compelling in the context of contemporary ecological and economic crises.
