Applied Experiments

Through our Applied Experiments we directly support practitioners to create projects that are able to be used, replicated or experienced: demonstrations, rather than just speculations, of what's possible.

In addition to building up a Reference Index and Interview Series, we're exploring how technology can better support creativity and human fulfillment through applied experiments.

By directly funding independent practitioners already working on themes and questions we're interested in, we help to create the possible. These projects all have interactive elements and result in projects that can be experienced and used.

Putting our own ideas, research and notions into practice, we lead by example while learning by doing. Experimental applications will reveal new possibilities and even mistakes, all of which can compliment and expand our other initatives, and even course-correct our theories, suspicions and assumptions.

For 2025 we aim to expand this program and begin experimenting with open calls as well.

If you have a project that would be suited as Applied Experiment, don't hestitate to reach out.
