hello world

we are the SystemKollektiv

SystemKollektiv

Our mission is to create, procure, research, distribute, and preserve digitized art in the Artificial Museum.

MISSION

We collaborate with artists, curators, organizers, collectives and institutions, expanding our network and achieving our shared objective:

Augmenting our world with new ideas for change and forming the cultural heritage of the future.

We invite artists of all trades, both analog and digital, to create an augmented reality artifact and become a permanent part of our museum.

We are already, more than ever, communicating and interacting in spaces that try to emulate an imaginary reality, something indistinguishable from and interwoven with our material spaces, an inevitable future of humanity.

Whatever the future may actually bring, we believe that we should try to shape technologies, social revolutions, ideas and spaces, so that humankind will be enabled to reimagine itself.

There is not much time left until the beginning of 2030.

Creative eyes can already catch a glimpse of the needed changes, a vision for humanity’s future that is reachable, sustainable and, frankly, better than what we have now.

Those same eyes also see the alternative future of climate disasters, social disarray and division, markets completely detached from reality and humanity enslaved by the machine.

There are only two possible endings to this scenario:

GAME OVER

REPLAY

Our obligation as artists, technologists, scientists and other creatives is to display those visions and make the need for change obvious and ubiquitous.

By adding imaginariums to reality we are able to connect people, and facilitate the sharing of artistic work on a virtual version of earth.

It allows the visitor to partake in exhibitions all over the world, and soon maybe even on other planets, while the artists are not being limited by choice of venue.

This is our final chance to act.

MANIFEST

The SystemKollektiv is a syndicate of independent artists, makers, programmers, engineers, philosophers, activists, and scientists, collectively using art and technology to transform our world. We believe in a literal definition of "common goods" and convert public spaces into an Artificial Museum, ready for artists to freely position their art.

Our method is an intermixture of universes, physical, virtual and imaginary.

We don't need space, time is irrelevant, objects stay as useful as the user.

PARTICIPATE

We are looking for institutional partners. Among others, collectives, hackspaces, universities, and museums are invited to shape the future of the Artificial Museum with us.

We provide the technical infrastructure for artifacts and exhibitions, our partners handle the open calls and coordinate with the artists.
