What we’re about
The Columbia University School of the Arts' Digital Storytelling Lab holds monthly meetups for those interested in how to harness story, play, design and technology for social innovation. Meetups mix ignite style talks, with rapid prototyping and social mixers. We're looking for thinkers & doers - Wanted storytellers, game designers, makers, hackers, educators, activists and anyone who is interested in learning, doing and sharing. We're part of an initiative at Columbia University that is focused on story-driven innovation. We hold events and labs around the world and are always up for an interesting collaboration.

Join us for an evening at the intersection of emerging technology and artistic inquiry. Decentralized Futures brings together artists, curators, critics, and cultural theorists to explore how decentralized systems are reshaping creative practice, authorship, and collective imagination.
Hosted by the Columbia DSL in collaboration with the Solana Foundation, the event invites participants into a dynamic space of speculation, experimentation, and critique. Through conversation, provocation, and performative exchange, we’ll examine how blockchain, generative AI, and participatory frameworks can both challenge and expand traditional models of cultural production.
This gathering is part of an ongoing new series of conversations, dinners, hackathons and prototyping sessions. Together, we ask: What might the future of art look like when it is co-created, decentralized, and ever in flux?
This is an IRL/Virtual event. A streaming link will be made available 24 hours prior to the event.SPEAKERS
