About
FutureEverything seeks out and shares new art forms and technologies in creative and unexpected ways. The company’s reputation is built upon finding and sharing the small sparks that grow into fresh ways of seeing the world. Winner of awards including the 2010 Lever Prize, FutureEverything is recognised as being a leader of pioneering innovation projects.
A key event, which comprises around half of FutureEverything’s annual activity, is our conference & festival of art, music and ideas. Each year, in mid-May, the themed festival features thought leadership, international networks, local advocacy, training and the opportunity to get directly involved in mass participation-based research. The music and art strands present some of the best emerging music and artists working at the very forefront of new media. Themes are drawn from innovation, technology, art, society and the environment, and have previously included mobile and locative arts, social networking and environment 2.0.
FutureEverything’s activity also includes Digital Innovation Labs. This developing service exploits our experience in combining the best of arts and new technologies in order to provide elegant solutions to practical research problems. Innovation Labs harness the power of cutting-edge digital innovations and render these accessible and transferable through creative means. FutureEverything has undertaken successful collaborations with a wide range of organisations, including Imagination@Lancaster, an open and exploratory research lab at Lancaster University. We have strong global connections, in particular the European Cities of Advanced Sound (ECAS) network and its worldwide international equivalent ICAS. We have been selected to lead the co-ordination and development of ECAS.
FutureEverything is represented by FutureEverything CIC, a non-profit creative ‘community Interest Company’. It is registered with Companies House and regulated by the CIC Regulator. The founder and Director of FutureEverything is Drew Hemment.
