eCHOES OF FUTURE MATTER
A cultural and artistic laboratory exploring materiality and design futures.
Speculative Futures of Making
Echoes of Future Matter (EoFM) is a cultural and artistic research platform at the intersection of design, technology, and material innovation. Through exhibitions, panels, and interviews, we bring together artists, designers, technologists, and startups to speculate, experiment, and prototype the futures of making. Rooted in San Francisco’s layered ecological
and cultural contexts, EoFM explores how emerging technologies can deepen—rather than replace—our connection to materiality.
Events
Designing for a World That Doesn’t Yet Exist.
Our events act as both cultural stages and innovation pipelines—spaces where radical ideas are tested before they enter the world.
Panel discussion on Co-Invention and Material Futures.
Moderated by Andrei Hakhovich (Gradient Matter, EoFM)
Alexey Dubov (BuildTech VC,
EoFM)
Daghan Cam (Aibuild)
Oluseun Taiwo (Solideon)
Damaso Mayer (Estudio Materiat)
Thom Faulders (Faulders Studio)

San Francisco Design Week
June 5 2025
Speakers:
The panel explored the intersection of material innovation and poetic design, covering sustainable materials, human vs. robotic craft, and circular design. A small exhibition of artifacts grounded the ideas in practice, sparking meaningful dialogue and engagement among designers, technologists, and thinkers.
outcome:
Sign up for future events.
interviews
Our interview series captures intimate conversations with leading voices across art, design, and technology. Together they reveal the digital poetics of making—the blend of computational tools, embodied craft, and phenomenological insight that defines the future of material practice.
From Speculation
to Market
EoFM incubates radical ideas and builds cultural momentum.
FM transforms those ideas into tangible innovations for the world.
dual engine:
While EoFM serves as the cultural laboratory, The Future Matter (FM) operates as its commercial arm—a design bureau and startup that translates insights into deployable solutions in design, architecture, and manufacturing.
