Recycling Utopia: in progress

Imagine. Lithuania after x year. Massive investments into biotechnologies lead the country to the new system with a mysterious name: ‘FALC’ (fully automated luxury communism). If Constant and other utopians from 70’s were dreaming about society freed by automation – here it is. The ludic society which can afford living in the spontaneous luxury.

What is luxury for you? Villa Savoy? A single family house? A vagabond life disconnected from any particular place? Is time the ultimate luxury or should it be guaranteed as a basic income for everyone? The project suggests a series of speculative scenarios how in future the socialist districts as structurally the most pure and adaptable areas can turn into the experimental playgrounds of ideas and theories.
