Theme: The future of the monuments
/ Future gadgets, Dystopia & Urbanism

The projection of the monument due to the temporal daily political atmosphere. If you are powerful enough, you can buy your own time here for your own projection, as an individual user. You can even project yourself. You don‘t have to be dead and famous. Just famous, but most powerful.

The Holument should always present somebody. It should never be empty. No other things should be on the square due to two things. First, it will distract attention away from the Holument, second, the square‘s purpose is to be used as a concert/spectacle stage only.

It‘s forbidden to gather. To stand and wait. To sit. You can just pass. You are a passer-by. We are here to stay and occupy and to entertain you, so you can forget about important things. But not to forget about us.

The only exception when you can be here with the others you know is when we have one of ours numerous spectacles, but even then you have to stand on the marked places, with no physical contact with each other. Before entering the square you will be carefully scanned, so we can be sure you don‘t have any electro communication devices with you. You have to be present here and watch our show. No other distractions or interactions.

Once a year, we have a Holument lottery. Thus an unknown citizen can project his own projections on the main square. You can be that lucky one. Just for one day, that can seems like an eternity. Earn your entrance to lottery participants with your loyalty. Be in the first row of all our spectacles and maybe you can earn your place amongst the daily gods. But also you have to earn that first row with total loyalty to everything we do, without question. What is that compare to 5 minutes of Holo fame?

The Holument – the future of the monument.
