Both projects deal with a topic of mineral resources colonization and absurd stereotypes of human attitude in consumerism era. Both project are based on the sarcastic humor. Krištof Kintera and his team created the monumental object from used batteries called Out of Power Tower dealing with the problem of scarcity and endless growth of energy production and consumption. Denisa Kera and Petr Šourek´s team realised polyecran projection under the title Lithopy which shows the “smart village” and its alternative inhabitants, controlled by satellites. Also this project deals with resources colonialization, esp. lithium, strategic material of the future.
