Now that we’re here, where are we? Still on the same planet, for sure. But forces are shifting. How did we get here? What stance should we take? What actions? And where are we heading?

Hypertopia bridges between today and tomorrow. Powered by the vision of a collective change in consciousness, the interdisciplinary program and exhibition anticipates a post-crisis future to explore approaches for a meaningful present. With a selection of artistic positions, propositions and exploratory projects that incorporate scientific methods as well as speculative modes of thought, Hypertopia challenges hierarchies, probes ideas, and imagines scenarios for a new planetary optimism. 

The exhibition presents works by Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg (UK), Ani Liu (USA), Dominique Koch (CH), Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico (IT), Himali Singh Soin (UK/IND) and Jana Maria Dohmann (D) and a project by STATE’s Curious Minds Community; contributors to the discursive program – a series of field trips that take the show’s artistic positions and core ideas to relevant places in the city – will be announced shortly.

Jetzt, wo wir gerade hier sind, wo genau befinden wir uns eigentlich? Weiterhin auf demselben Planeten, klar. Doch die Kräfte verschieben sich spürbar. Welche Haltung nehmen wir ein? Welche Handlungen zählen? Und wo führen sie – führt das alles – eigentlich hin?  

Hypertopia versteht sich als Ort zwischen heute und morgen. Angetrieben von der Vision eines kollektiven Bewusstseinswandels antizipiert das interdisziplinäre Ausstellungs- und Themenprogramm eine Zeit nach der Krise, um Gestaltungsansätze für eine zukunftsfähige Gegenwart zu entwickeln. Anhand künstlerischer Positionen, Propositionen und explorativer Projekte, die auf wissenschaftlichen Methoden und spekulativen Denkweisen beruhen, werden Hierarchien hinterfragt, Ideen erprobt und alternative Szenarien eines kooperativen, biodiversen Miteinanders entworfen.

Hypertopia präsentiert Arbeiten von Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg (UK), Ani Liu (USA), Dominique Koch (CH), Salvatore Iaconesi & Oriana Persico (IT), Himali Singh Soin (UK/IND) und Jana Maria Dohmann (D) und ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt der STATE-initiierten Curious Minds Community; Mitwirkende des Diskursprogramms, das die Kernideen der künstlerischen Positionen im Rahmen von Field-Trips an relevanten Orten im städtischen Raum weiterdenkt, werden in Kürze bekanntgegeben.

Hypertopia is a borderless territory. Hence, the exhibition is accompanied by a decentralized framework program that carries its ideas into the public realm, from the gallery space into open terrain. Self-guided field explorations send you on your own journey through the city.

What: Digital Exhibition Tour & interactive thought experiment
When: Donnerstag 26.11, 18:30 - 20:00
Where: Zoom

Wie können wir Kunst und Wissenschaft zusammenbringen, um alternative nachhaltige Zukünfte zu erkunden? Wie kann unsere Vorstellungskraft als Werkzeug eingesetzt werden, um den sozial-ökologischen Wandel voranzutreiben? Aufbauend auf den von der Ausstellung Hypertopia aufgeworfenen Zukunftsthemen widmen wir uns in einem ko-kreativen Event der Frage, wie eine nachhaltige und auf das Wohl und die Würde des Menschen gerichtete Zukunft aussehen könnte. Die Veranstaltung nutzt dabei das Gedankenexperiment einer fiktiven Zeitreise als Werkzeug.

Wir können sie mit bloßem Auge nicht sehen und doch sind sie überall in unserer Umgebung vorhanden: Mikroorganismen. Auch in unserem Körper tummeln sich jede Menge davon. So kommen nach neuesten Erkenntnissen auf 30 Billionen Körperzellen 39 Billionen Bakterien.

What: Presentation and Exhibition Tour
Where: Youtube

How can we bring together the arts and sciences to explore alternative sustainable futures? What global challenges and scientific findings need to be addressed to help us overcome this systemic crisis? And finally: How can speculative design and imagination be employed as a tool to drive socio-ecological transformation? This Digital Field Trip is the first collaboration between Science Notes Magazin and STATE Studio as part of the Berlin Science Week and in the context of Hypertopia.

Hypertopia: Weaving Social Texture

What: Performance
When: 31 October, 12 - 5 pm
Where: STATE Studio, Hauptstraße 3, 10827 Berlin

Weaving Social Texture is a collective research project and performance by Jana Maria Dohmann that seeks to inspire interaction. Over the course of her show, the participatory installation will grow into a collective tissue of decisions, all of which are driven by individual, or mutually coordinated choices. A basic set up pre-installed by the artist serves as a point of departure for the collective, essentially improvised work. Further reference is provided by a set of scores, that frame the action, adding a few fundamental guidelines for the visitors to carry out.

Now that we’re here, where are we? Still on the same planet, for sure. But forces are shifting. How did we get here? What stance should we take? What actions? And where are we heading?
Hypertopia doesn’t claim to have answers. Instead, it presents itself as a platform for renegotiation – a deep drilling rig, if you will, in an ocean of idle opportunities and potential impossibilities.
