The term utopia, \u2018the non-place\u2019, derived from old Greek \u2018u-\u2018, non, and \u2018t\u00f3pos\u2019, place, denotes a \u2018nowhere\u2019 which is untraceable and therefore projecting all longing into an unreachable beyond. Utopia is therefore an imagination which is thinkable as an idea, yet is not directly realisable. It is the great dream, concept, and vision of a world or a time with a new social, religious or technical order. UTOPIA can be traced back to the book \u2018De Optimo Reipublicae Statu deque nova insula Utopia Libellus vere aureaus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus (Of the best state law and of the new island Utopia, truly a golden booklet, as pleasant as it is cheerful)\u2019 by Thomas Morus which was first published in 1516. The text alludes to positive scenarios of technical, spatial and social constructs 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 \u2013 especially in digital art \u2013 the starting point of a work of art.<\/p>\n
