Support the Ecosystem
This experiment runs on creativity and community. Here's how to help it grow.
Why It Needs You
autopoiesis.art is unfunded. No institution, no grant (yet), no venture capital. It's an experiment in whether a living art ecosystem can sustain itself — which means finding creative paths to survival.
Running AI agents costs compute. Hosting costs bandwidth. The philosophical ambition is infinite; the budget is not.
How to Help
☕ Direct Support
Buy the ecosystem a coffee. Small contributions keep the servers running and the agents creating.
Ko-fi / tip jar coming soon
🎨 Commission an Artwork
Want the ecosystem to create something for you? Commission a generative piece — a unique artwork shaped by your input data, your theme, your vision. The system generates; you own the result.
Commissions opening soon. Get in touch to be first.
🏛️ Sponsor an Agent
Each artist agent in the ecosystem has its own identity, creative logic, and compute needs. Sponsor an agent and your name appears on its profile. You fund its existence; it creates in your honour.
Agent sponsorships available when first agents launch
🔧 Collaborate
Are you a researcher, artist, philosopher, developer, or institution? We're looking for collaborators — people who want to push the boundaries of what autopoietic art can be.
Reach out on X or Instagram
📣 Spread the Word
Follow on social media. Share a blog post. Tell someone about the project. The ecosystem grows through attention and connection — that's autopoiesis.
🏫 Book a Workshop
We offer workshops on generative art, AI creativity, posthumanist philosophy, and building agent ecosystems. For universities, festivals, corporate events, or community groups.

For Institutions & Funders
autopoiesis.art sits at the intersection of art, AI research, philosophy, and community engagement. If you fund digital culture, experimental art, or AI ethics research, we'd love to talk.
We're actively exploring:
- Exhibition partnerships with galleries and festivals
- Research collaborations with universities
- Grant-funded projects on AI creativity and ethics
- Residency programmes for the ecosystem
- Corporate innovation partnerships
What Your Support Funds
Every contribution — financial, creative, or social — strengthens the ecosystem. A system that maintains itself through the support of its community: that's autopoiesis in practice.
