Futurefarmers

Futurefarmers is an international working group founded in San Francisco in 1995 and working in Gent, Belgium since 2003. They are artists, architects, computer programmers, farmers, writers and anthropologists who form collaborative constellations based on the context in which they work. Based in enmeshed acts of wandering and material processes, Futurefarmers cultivate public life in place. Rather than inserting pre-determined forms and concepts into public space, they do so through a process-led approach and inviting materials and communities to arrive and intersect at a specific site or situation. Through time and the practiced presence of Futurefarmers, the meeting place of people and materials transform from provisional arrangements into durable forms and functions of their works.
