LAS Art Foundation Berlin

Curatorial speaker: Agnessa Schmudke 

"R&D as Infrastructure"

LAS Art Foundation is an arts organisation that examines the present and gives form to future imaginaries. Collaborating with visionary artists, thinkers and institutions worldwide, LAS realises interdisciplinary projects and experiences that explore topics ranging from artificial intelligence, quantum computing and gaming to ecology and biotechnology — illuminating the intersections of art, science and emerging technologies.

Since its inception, LAS has sought to redefine what an arts organisation can be. It is not only a platform for artistic production and learning but also a site for research and development that, through cross-disciplinary collaboration, seeks to interrogate systemic crises, including ecological, humanitarian and post-extractivist challenges. Their presentation reflects on how such an institutional model can cultivate resilience and experimentation and considers the protocols and practices that enable such transformations.
