MARS! Mobilizing Awareness for Resilient Societies!

In the project MARS! – Mobilizing Awareness for Resilient Societies! – ZKM | Hertzlab wants to challenge the signifier the planet Mars has become and to use it to address very pressing Earth matters. We will imagine for a moment that we, the global society, have decided to make Mars settlements a democratic Commons project. Rather than being left behind on a burning planet and looking on as the wealthy leave towards redder pastures, we will make Mars a democratic project for the rest of us, designing practical and utopian aspects of the question “What would we do if we could start over?”
