 Kick Off - Underground City simulation Vienna

24th May 2010

The city underground, beneath the surface, channels the invisible virtual networks of the digital underground and transforms them into a social sculpture. A European project to set up a city by day, between asylum and urban space for the development of new urban ways of life. An inventory of our current lifestyle and future archaeology as a trans-disciplinary theatre and art experiment at the turning point of a restructuring world society.
