Hypertopia Field Exploration 3:

How to get to STATION I

Ani Liu’s ghost in the zoom machine first wants you to meet a human-animal hybrid; right on the edge between ancient mythology and possible futures of humanity. In ancient history they are portrayed as hybrid beings that have a cultivated thirst for knowledge and an uncontrollable angle at the same time. Feel and explore that threshold transit zone between human, non-human and trans-human on an island in Berlin. Just a stone throw away you will find one of the most iconic neoclassical and renaissance architectures between the rails of Berlin’s Stadtbahn and Bode street on the Eastern banks. When you have arrived and observed the described artefact, start walking around it and look out for a code attached on its back side. By opening it with your digital wearable of your choice, you will receive a special message that might change the relationship towards yourself.

Find the next cue: Navigate yourself towards the backside of the described hybrid artefact. You will find a QR code with a message for you on its plinth.
