Neotopia

The equitable world. In times of the WEF (World Economic Forum) and the global fears of the future, has been said and reflected a lot about the equal world. The difficulty is within the realization of this equal world in practice or to finish the thought consequently to the end of the line: What would the world look like if all human beings had precisely the same resources at their disposal?

Neotopia – an imaginary new world order – is an answer of this question. Neotopia is the vision of a world in which everything has been redistributed to achieve radical equitability. Every person has the same rights and therefore is entitled to claim a just share of the earth’s aggregate resources. Based on statistics that reflect the current state of the world, the concept of ownership has been redefined: each individual receives the same proportion of everything. What, then, does each person own? What size of an island? How much ice? How many years can we live in luxury? How long do we suffer starvation, and how many years does it take before we can get a new pair of jeans?

Neotopia gives each of us a plot of land measuring 291.5 m by 291.5 m, with an island, with an arctic and an Antarctic region, with desert, farmland, and urbanized land, and with the freedom to utilize these resources as we see fit.

The concept is explained in a visual story. The reader is introduced step-by-step from the world of today to a world of justice. The radical re-mapping of boundaries of ownership and the proposed new system of distribution has a serious effect: the world’s assets have been converted into streams of data.

Neotopia is is understood by all social levels and meant to be discussed on literature festivals, design exhibitions, conferences, as well as in primary schools and church communities – all in regards to sustainability.
