Futurefarmers is a group of artists, designers and architects who use various media to create work that responds to the time and place around them. A constant throughout their work is a concern and critique of systems of capital and their effects on the material and social environment. They deconstruct food policies, public transportation, rural farming networks to visualize and understand their intrinsic logics. Often through this disassembly they find new narratives and potential reconfigurations that might propose alternatives to the principles that once dominated these systems. Their work often provides a playful entry point and tools for an audience to gain insight into deeper fields of inquiry – not only to imagine, but to participate in and initiate change in the places we live.
Futurefarmers was founded in 1995 as a design studio that serves as a platform to support art projects, an artist in residence program and research interests. Collectively, they teach in the graduate program at California College of the Arts in San Francisco and the joint masters program of art and engineering at Stanford University.
