Our new mission is to undertake 'Fieldwork in Human and Machine Imagination'. This is part of a new drive to make our work more sustainable and impactful and we will be launching our new website soon.

Alongside featured editorial articles we will host a Community Blog for people to showcase and respond to current work - as articles, reviews, interviews, and videos.

We will continue to support diverse and critical practices that align with Furtherfield’s new programmes of exhibitions, labs and debates. These will be presented for all to explore on the new site. It’s gonna be wild!
