Our mission is to co-create extraordinary art that connects with contemporary audiences providing innovative, engaging and inclusive digital and physical spaces for appreciating and participating in practices in art, technology and social change.

fun and games with Nike...


Nike now lets you personalize your shoes by submitting a word or phrase
