Humanotop

Humanotop is an art project.

The project is interactive.

Interactive means:
The audience takes part.

The project is about the future of the city.
Scientific data helps with this.

---

What is it about in general?

Humanotop invites people to think together.

Visitors are asked to think about:
How can our city look in the future?
How do we want to live?

The project connects art and science.

---

What is it about exactly?

There is a thinking game.
Time is very short.

People have solved big problems.
For example:
Problems with the environment.

Environment means:
Nature.
Animals and plants.

They also solved social problems.

Social problems are:
Problems between people.

Scientists come from the future.
They are looking for answers.

They need help.
Your help.
And the help of others.

Visitors work together
with the performers.
There are:
Scenes.
Conversations.
Games.
An audio walk.

Audio walk means:
A listening walk with headphones.

The thinking game takes place
in a future world.
It looks like science fiction.

Science fiction means:
It is not real
in the present.
It is make-believe.
But it could become real
in the future.

This creates a picture of the future.
Visitors look at their city in a new way.

There are important questions:
Who were we in the past?
Who are we today?
Who do we want to be in the future?
