The Grid connects the worlds of art and technology to fuse their strengths. We are on a mission to design best practices and find innovative models for collaboration between artists and technologists to help shape the world of tomorrow.
The Grid was launched as a European initiative at San Francisco’s Gray Area in December 2019 and has since transformed into an international multi-stakeholder platform of artists, technologists, cultural institutes, arts organizations, policy makers, and tech companies.
