Future Art Ecosystems Bundle

On the occasion of the release of Future Art Ecosystems 3: Art x Decentralised Tech, we are offering a limited edition of the Future Art Ecosystems trilogy: volumes 1, 2 and 3. Launched in 2020 by Serpentine Arts Technologies, Future Art Ecosystems (FAE) has taken the form of annual strategic briefings. Their mission is to provide concepts, references, language and arguments that can be integrated into operational agendas for 21st-century cultural infrastructure: the systems that support the production, distribution and financialisation of art and advanced technologies as a whole, and respond to a broader societal agenda.

Future Art Ecosystems 1: Art x Advanced Technologies (FAE1)— addresses the implications of artistic engagements with advanced technologies in terms of the infrastructural redesign that they enable within and in parallel to existing art ecosystems. Future Art Ecosystems 2: Art x Metaverse (FAE2) considers how the perception, experience and production of art are transforming with the advent of the metaverse—an always-online, persistent, spatial ‘second’ world and an emerging internet megastructure. Future Art Ecosystems 3: Art x Decentralised Tech (FAE3) identifies new patterns emerging from the decentralised technologies space for the future of the AxAT ecosystem.
