DESCRIPTION:MAK\nStubenring 5\n1010 Vienna\nPhone: +431711360\n\nThe term u
 topia\, ‘the non-place’\, derived from old Greek ‘u-‘\, non\, and â
 €˜tópos’\, place\, denotes a ‘nowhere’ which is untraceable and ther
 efore projecting all longing into an unreachable beyond. Utopia is therefor
 e an imagination which is thinkable as an idea\, yet is not directly realis
 able. It is the great dream\, concept\, and vision of a world or a time wit
 h a new social\, religious or technical order.\n\n\n	UTOPIA can be traced b
 ack to the book ‘De Optimo Reipublicae Statu deque nova insula Utopia Lib
 ellus vere aureaus\, nec minus salutaris quam festivus (Of the best state l
 aw and of the new island Utopia\, truly a golden booklet\, as pleasant as i
 t is cheerful)’ by Thomas Morus which was first published in 1516. The te
 xt alludes to positive scenarios of technical\, spatial and social construc
 ts which have not been realised. Usually\, technology plays a major role in
  utopian phantasms. More often than not their realistic implementation is a
  matter of availability of technology and very often it is – especially i
 n digital art – the starting point of a work of art.\n\n\n	In 2008\, Para
 flows 08 UTOPIA will try to develop the perspective\, the linguistic roots 
 of which corresponds with last year’s exhibitions. In the context of the 
 topic UTOPIA\, we want to gather concepts of a possible future\, draw persp
 ectives\, dreams and prognoses\, dare take a prognostic look at the future.
  Directly tying in with last year’s festival topic UN_SPACE – which dea
 lt with non-space and impossible spaces – this year we will again strive 
 to provide a multi-layered examination involving the overwhelming architect
 onic and historical reality of the venue – the MAK Gegenwartskunstdepot G
 efechtsturm Arenbergpark.\n\n
