Based in London, Burton Nitta is an interdisciplinary art duo that investigates our human future and evolution through collaborative projects.  Previous works such as After Agri, Algaculture, The Algae Opera, The Republic of Salivation and New Organs of Creativity are published and exhibited internationally from MoMA, New York to the V&A Museum, London.  New areas of research are explored through a journal called After... that invites audiences to taste the future and venture into alternative visions of the world and ourselves. Ultimately we ask: to what extent can our work actually alter the course of the future?
