Reimagining the democratic process through participatory design, this project turned unused spaces into interactive election headquarters for Inhabit the Future at the European Forum Alpbach. A traditional metal milk can, familiar from Alpine farming, served as the ballot box. On Election Night, students of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art performed the two competing utopias — SPA and Rhizome Rule.
