Projects

This selection of projects is manifested optimism. It ranges from bold and far-sighted concepts to concrete visions of how the future might look and feel. Each vision is connected to the status quo, whether on a sociological, technological, or cultural level – even if it challenges it or presents it as a misleading design. The rationale for including a vision can be found in the curator’s note on the respective project page.
