Copenhagen Substitute (1998)

by Dellbr

COPENHAGEN SUBSTITUTE is archiving utopian ideas in order to reanimate them. It is constructed like a tower with seven levels, each dedicated to a specific topic: Starting with the individual habitat which forms its occupant over a variety of urban prototypes to the data-bodies of its residents. It offers the possibility to create a city of sounds. Up on the top twelve constellations in the starry sky lead to new frontiers: space travels, space colonies and the harmony of spheres. COPENHAGEN SUBSTITUTE equips its visitors with a vocabulary, enabling them to articulate what they want and to compare it with what they have. It does not offer the ultimate model, the best of all worlds. By visualizing the range of alternatives to the status quo it encourages its users to change it. see also HAMBURG ERSATZ http://hamburg-ersatz.trmd.de for the german version and http://www.howdoyoufeel.de
