Floating Islands: New Space for Art & Innovation

Open-Island is a social sculpture by itself but also hosts art and culture on its floating stage, in exhibitions and shows.

German Artist Joy Lohmann works on floating art since the world fair EXPO2000. His social sculptures and installations inspired the continuos development of modular DIY-float-platforms for multiple purposes, the Open-Islands.

And still, culture plays a mayor role in all projects – from the conceptual parts via the aesthetic appearance and project communication to the content and program on the islands as a stage or venue.

The islands provide subjects, space and opportunities for various school projects, informal and e-learning.

The “Making-of” a joint future vision is the best learning environment ever! People of all kind cocreate and build a visionary future-island altogether. From floating gardens to energy-islands or biospheres to unique spaces and happenings. Schools and universities cooperate in the planning and building process or participate in our educational programs.

Together with colleagues and partners, we learn and cocreate concepts, prototypes and manuals, which we share open-source, wherever possible.
