Action For the Long Horizon Can't Wait

Artist led, research informed, we exist to create adaptive, generative art, ideas and prototypes to thrive on earth. PACT achieves this by amplifying artists’ unique utility as engines for imagination, agency, and change. We pair artistic imagination with science and technology to redefine possibility and ignite human agency.

Systems and Protocols
From reflection to investigation and invention.

PACT works with the urgency of today to unlock ideas for tomorrow. Pairing artist’s unbound creativity, with relentless curiosity, we approach the systems and frameworks of labor, materials and infrastructures as rich terrain for invention, reimagining and as sources for invention to open up new pathways towards a more resilient way of life.

Transforming Imagination Into Momentum

Katie Paterson, Future Library. 2014 – 2114

PACT brings the essential capacity of the artist:
the imagination to invent and the tenacity to misunderstand the brief.

Our process is rooted in adaptation, reuse, and invention, building on investigation, research and collaboration. When others get stuck forecasting the future, we prototype it to make art that meets the moment.

PACT has built projects and commissions with institutions globally:
