About

Feral File is a cultural institution and technology company championing computational art—i.e. art that responds and evolves through code, models, and data. We collaborate with artists, curators, and institutions to produce exhibitions and build open tools to make living with this art effortless. Founded in 2020 by artist Casey Reas and technologist Sean Moss‑Pultz, Feral File grew out of a2p (2019), an artist‑to‑artist experiment in exchange and provenance. It has since evolved into an independent company and institution dedicated to the practice, presentation, and preservation of computational art. At its core, Feral File reimagines the artist–collector relationship for the digital age. Building on the 1971 Artist’s Contract, which shifted power toward artists by reserving their rights after sale, we have adapted its spirit to today. Rights, royalties, and responsibilities are encoded on the blockchain for transparency, building trust and fair support for artists. Beyond protecting artists, this also turns collectors into active stewards, and opens art to broader collaboration.
