ArtFutura 2024 / 2025
The Future Arrives Early
“The future arrives early;
there’s not enough to go around…
Yet the NEED TO KNOW is like the need for water.
We need to know”.
William Gibson (Memory Palace)

What will the next 30 years be like?
The gap between how the world is now and how it could be is wider than ever before. And in our hands lies the design and construction of viable, habitable, and desirable futures for all.
In the next 30 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have a profound impact on the art world, transforming the way we create and experience art. AI has the potential to democratize art, make it more accessible, and contribute to the creation of innovative and disruptive works.
ArtFutura has been exploring the new artistic frontiers for more than 30 years with the conviction that technology and art must focus on the human being and his creativity.
