'utopia' refers to a place which is not there yet, a good place. panatom gallery with dutch
born, hamburg based materials expert aart van bezooyen invited visitors to join efforts in
envisioning a better tomorrow during this year’s DMY international design festival berlin 2010.

using natural chewing gum sourced from the rainforests of mexico, an interactive installation
was powered by the participating visitors – making them an essential part of the show.
individuals were asked to make little sculptures of their own liking using the 'working materials'
of gum made from an ancient process known in mexico long before the aztec empire.

the sculptures were then put on display and assigned a number, as each piece will become
a part of an online gallery. 
in doing this exhibition, the show hopes to make people think
about the future of materials.
