Atlantica

Atlantis is a symbol for a system of governance where all decisions were made on the basis of scientific and technological knowledge. So the perfect utopia for technocrats is ironically in the past, not in the future. Atlantica, with its high-tech subjects on handmade paper, illustrates the ambivalence between technical development and the vision of ideal functioning societies in the future. Another main topic of this art-work is the synergy between microcosm and macrocosm (e.g. circuit boards look and operate like miniature cities). Small electronic parts have been extracted photographically from their devices and transferred into blueprints for architecture. Perhaps the utopian city Atlantis had been just a circuit, that got drown in the sea of memories.
