What we do

Experimenta is the future of art, presenting work that is poised on the intersect between art, science and technology.  

Since its inception in 1986, Experimenta has developed a worldwide reputation for fostering creativity that extends the aesthetic, conceptual and experiential potential of art forms. The organisation’s programs are quite unlike anything else and redefine what art can be, embracing the practices of bio art, creative coding, robotics, data-driven works, virtual and augmented reality.  

Experimenta commissions some of the world’s most adventurous contemporary artists working on the periphery of convention, working with technology in unexpected and original ways. It presents major touring exhibitions, partnerships with like-minded provocateurs, holds talks and symposiums, develops public programs and advocates on behalf of the sector. 

Working with established and emerging artists, Experimenta provides a vital platform for unique and curious collaborations with experts in other fields (scientists, researchers, engineers, architects and technologists) realising ambitious, daring and complex projects.  

Experimenta is not bound by traditional artforms and brings very different people into arts practice, championing new ideas about technology, exploring the creative possibilities and unearthing emerging artforms.  

Experimenta presents art that cannot be experienced elsewhere, imagining the future of art and exploring unchartered pathways towards it.
