Chris Woebken Studio is a design futures research practice residing on the traditional and unceded land of the Lenape also known as Brooklyn, New York. Working through participatory projects, the studio helps communities co-construct and inhabit speculative scenarios. The studio develops special commissions with cultural organizations and partners to produce public programs.
Works are held in private and museum collections, including the MoMA Permanent Collection and the Nevada Museum of Art. Chris co-founded the Extrapolation Factory, a participatory futures research studio. Woebken participated in art residencies at Rhizome, Eyebeam, Headlands Center for the Arts, MacDowell and his work was supported by grants and commissions from Pioneer Works, MoMA, Shed, NYFA and the Graham Foundation. His work has been exhibited widely including the MoMA, NCCA National Center for Contemporary Art in Moscow, and the China National Museum in Beijing. He holds a Master's in Design Interactions from the Royal College of Art in London.
