- Abstract
The article deals with the realization of collaborative work within the context of university and teaching research, where the creation of utopian artistic projects that are beneficial for the individual and society in the future is proposed. We propose to solve problems, discover and invent, starting from the trigger of a work that begins with an exercise in creative visualization, projecting seemingly impossible ideas that can hypothetically be solved in the future. We develop proposals through the language of contemporary art in a transdisciplinary way that can improve the well-being of the individual and positively collaborate in the evolution of humanity towards a better future. We start from existing precedents in current art together with the latest scientific and technological discoveries, we pay attention to some of the most optimistic views of transhumanist philosophy, science fiction, the utopian post-cyberpunk subgenre and scientific references of modern physics, such as Michio Kaku (1947); especially quantum, Max Planck (1858-1947); contemporary psychiatry, Brian Weiss (1944); or the artistic one, Mariko Mori (1967) Saraceno (1973), Ilya and Emilia Kabakov (1933 and 1945), Harbisson (1984) and Moon (1985).
