FutureEverything (2020 to 2026)

Executive Director

March 2020 to March 2026

I joined FutureEverything in March 2020 as Producer, becoming Executive Director in November 2021 and co-led the organisation until its closure in March 2026.

FutureEverything existed at the convergence of art, technology and society. As an arts organisation with a year-round programme of cultural activity, we helped shape digital culture locally, nationally and internationally for over 30 years.

We brought audiences together to discover and share new ideas that dared to imagine better futures through a bold programme of public art commissions, cross-sector collaborations, and digital debates & knowledge exchange forums.

Our mission was to push creative boundaries across multiple disciplines, ask challenging questions, and connect wide-ranging audiences with current and future global issues.

Our vision was to spearhead positive societal change and pioneer critical cultural connections using art as a transformative tool.

We delivered projects in the UK and across the globe, across three programme strands, with high profile partners including arts organisations, academic institutions, tech industry, business, governmental organisations and others, working with AI, ethics, environment, placemaking and more.

During my time at FutureEverything we delivered a diverse range of artworks, exhibitions, and events including:

Plasmata

Electric Echoes

Emotional Biodiversity

You and AI

Digital Transmissions
