Autonomous Forest

2025 - ongoing

Autonomous Forest is a non-profit association and a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) dedicated to acquiring and collectively managing forest areas. Through decentralized platforms, members of the association make decisions collaboratively.

Since establishing Autonomous Forest in 2025, terra0 have considered various ways of presenting the work. They situate Autonomous Forest within the historical context of institutional critique and land art, which have adopted different strategies for representing themselves within institutions. terra0 feel it is important to work out how Autonomous Forest can be presented as an independent entity 'within the institution’.

Autonomous Forest is not an object, but rather a protocol comprising technical, economic, and ecological components that can constitute itself independently of art institutions. Beyond this, Autonomous Forest can primarily be exhibited through documentation.
