Neo-Metabolism is a planetary research and design practice. Decentralised
infrastructures, trustful networks and resistance to the status quo are themes
that feature heavily throughout our propositions.

         Complementary to our self-initiated work, we seek long-term
partnerships with other impact focused organisations. In these collabs, we act
as a structure that supports, challenges, and advances the shared project. We
provide substantial capacities on-demand: from critical cultural research and
analysis, to organisational strategy, identity and narrative development, the
design of graphics, objects and spaces, product prototyping, media and thought
production. 

        Once, we were named after Metabolism (新陳代謝), an architectural movement
rethinking urban life in post-catastrophe Japan. In response to the “world as
factory” perspective of industrial modernity, the Metabolists relied on
biological and ecological notions when conceiving architecture and
infrastructure. They saw cities not as planned deployments, but as dynamic,
living assemblages. They focused on relations, Group Form and change. We find
their thinking useful today, as it offers the potential to move from
anthropocentric to more-than-human worlding. To us, Metabolism highlights that
material, information, and semiotic flows are deeply, wildly interconnected, and
constantly in flux. We also follow feminist, new materialist thought, in the
understanding that matter is vibrant, nothing is static, and tiny interventions
can have a decisive impact on the whole.

        As a legal entity, we are a 100% member-owned cooperative under Dutch
law. Our core crew is currently based in Amsterdam, Los Angeles and Melbourne.
