We are being fed a rotten story. The inevitability of AI. The normality of violence. That ecological collapse is inevitable, and nature is only a resource for extraction – culminating in a rigid future decided for us.

SPOILED PROPAGANDA brings together an international group of artists, (bio)designers, researchers, and makers who refuse to tune into today's rotting noise. Instead, they offer some propaganda of their own: fermented and alive.

Through biodesign, the artists cultivate new imaginal realities built around collaboration between human and more-than-human worlds.

They ask us to examine the assumptions we have been consuming unquestioned; to ingest, ferment and digest ideas that might fundamentally alter how we construct so-called "sustainable" futures.

Because isn't sustainability spoiled too? Overused, sanitised and stripped of its capacity to provoke, it has become an industry buffer of accountability.

From lab-grown materials and digitally fabricated habitats to objects that actively support ecological regeneration, SPOILED PROPAGANDA collapses the distance between laboratory, studio, building site and ecosystem. It creates a space for scientific research to become cultural experience, and for artistic speculation to contaminate the supposedly objective worlds of technology and design – grafting bio-futurism.
