About Prototype Garden
A speculative futures platform.
Rooted in research-driven curiosity, Prototype Garden is an ever-evolving space for experimentation where scientists, artists, economists, and other thinkers come together to stretch ideas and create. Maybe it’s a zine, maybe it’s a research publication, or maybe it’s something entirely new. What truly matters is the continual act of exploring and experimenting.
