Future Folklore
Onboarding the world to the search for life 👽
The above is a still from Future Folklore’s latest token Beam Out, designed by drewmadestuff. By purchasing 1+ editions you’re supporting the greatest search of our time.
FF takes inspiration from the decentralized science movement.
Search everywhere
We value the full spectrum of search possibilities, from radio waves to brain waves, metallurgy on recovered materials to metaphors in ancient literature.
incubate Projects & ADvise the market
Through our Off-world Incubator, Future Folklore works with project leaders, researchers, and inventors to bring their ideas to market. These projects engage the vast domain of non-human intelligence and non-terrestrial life.
FF can advise on engaging this domain.
The search is undergoing a renaissance with momentous implications. Compared to its import, the search is the most underresourced enterprise on the planet. It’s poised to spill out of legacy institutions, stigmatized research communities, and shadowy federal programs. Findings—and the search itself—will prove to be a centuries-long innovation engine.
We dream of a humanity technologically capable of participating in a cosmos filled with other life. Some say we’re already in contact.
Our conviction
The name Future Folklore is inspired by the chapter on Jacques Vallée in Jeffrey Kripal’s book Authors of the Impossible: The Paranormal and the Sacred (“The Future Technology of Folklore: Jacques Vallee and the UFO Phenomenon”).
