Daniel Dean's Company Details

Futures North is a collaborative design+fabricate+build team comprised of Daniel Dean, John Kim, Adam Marcus, and Molly Reichert. We share a passion for design, innovative technologies and the construction of social art spaces. Futures North is confidently multimodal in our practice, moving fluidly between the disciplines of art, design, urbanism, and space. The unifying theme of our work is an interest in the aesthetics of data; how new technologies can help us to visualize, reveal, understand and celebrate the diverse fields of information that flow through contemporary culture. Our practice is informed by innovative design and construction technologies, such as digital fabrication with robotic machines, computational modeling, custom software, and electronics development. The members of Futures North are also experienced in constructing large-scale interactive projects for major museums, gallery spaces, and commission-based public art exhibitions. Each has negotiated the complex process of collaborating with various clients, users, and other stakeholders to realize compelling solutions for site-specific and design+build projects.
