Unwired Currents—a new collaboration redefining technologies

Together with the think & do tank Dezentrum, we received funding from the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia to collaborate with design researcher and long-time Futuress contributing editor Franca López Barbera, the transnational platform Dreaming Beyond AI, and the anti-educational platform Materia Oscura! Together, we are working on a new fully-funded online fellowship, a free online public program, and a row of online gathering and exchange formats! From May to October 2025, “Unwired Currents—Imagining Technologies Otherwise” challenges and expands the notion of technology beyond colonial, modernist, and solutionist views, highlighting the role of ancient practices and envision more just futures.
