Online typography exhibition in the spirit of an idealized world

Utopolis is an online exhibition where more than twenty Hungarian artists, graphic designers and typographers showed what it would be like to write the script of an idealized world.

Utopolis is a place, which couldn’t be reached, you can only arrive, no roads or coordinates lead here. In this alternative reality, all challenges have been solved, the self-drawn walls have collapsed, and the constraints and obligations that have become redundant have ceased to exist. It is an ideal paradise, an imaginary social, political and cultural space. The project holds a mirror to our slippery world in an online typographic exhibition, with the help of designers from the creative sphere. The aim of the project is to write an idealistic scenario that can serve as an alternative to action and encourage the formation and collaboration of communities. The exhibition shows what it would be like to demolish current ideas and how it would be if we provided enough space, time and opportunity for everyone instead.

Flying cars could be a part of the very near future already

If we take the movies Back to the Future or Blade Runner, it should have been a natural part of our daily routine some time ago that we would use flying vehicles to cover even the smallest distances. Well, contrary to the predictions of the screenwriters, it seems that this

We arrive in Nagykovácsi by car: from a distance, we notice a characteristic detail of the house, the “little tower” covered with burnt larch.
