Tools, art, and infrastructure for digital subcultures.
At the intersections of technology, media, and radical imagination.
SUBCULT is an independent collective of developers, artists, and thinkers building projects that live between culture, code, and critique.
We believe technology should empower communities instead of extracting from them — and that art + software can be instruments for resistance, education, and transformation.
- Community tools — platforms and systems that help people organize and connect
- Data transparency — projects that make public social data visible and understandable
- Interactive media — games, art, and experiments that invite participation
- Cultural software — small, weird, expressive tools that push boundaries
