re:future lab is an independent institute for art and future design based in Berlin, Germany, with rhizomatic connections far beyond.

We are driven by the complex challenges facing humanity today: climate change, artificial intelligence, cultural conflicts. Our passion is to detect cutting-edge future topics and their applications in art, leading to creative breakthroughs and transformative ideas.

To turn our vision into reality, we actively build bridges between art, science, and society. We work with leading universities, cultural institutions, associations, innovative companies, strategy consultancies, and design agencies.

Anchored in a metamodern culture and informed by artistic research, strategy, and dialogue, we offer a multidimensional program spanning exhibitions, artist talks, panel discussions, symposia, workshops, and publications.

To inspire ingenuity and leadership through art-based advisory services, we share our expertise in ultra-contemporary art, artistic research, systemic thinking, idea generation, and value-driven strategy design with creative and entrepreneurial minds on a case-by-case basis.

Since our founding in 2020, we have earned a sound reputation as a curation and outreach platform that addresses key future issues through multisensory projects and transdisciplinary knowledge transfer.

Creating a platform where artists and scientists come together to debate ‘How do we want to live?’ is key to developing ideas that make our world a little better and our thinking a little freer. An important step has been taken in Berlin to turn visions into reality.
