Introduction

2038 The New Serenity, Christopher Roth's collaborative project for the German Pavilion of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, invites you to discover a story between fact and fiction. In a series of films, it tells the history of a better world in which everything, though imperfect, is better in some pretty profound and radical ways. 

Based on the knowledge and visions of a collaborative team of international experts from Architecture, Art, Ecology, Economy, Philosophy, Politics, Science and Technology, team 2038 strives to explore our future society through prefigurative politics, illustrating modes of organization and social relationships to come.

2038 is an international team of architects, artists, ecologists, economists, scientists, politicians and writers, including Deane Simpson, Diana Alvarez-Marin, E. Glen Weyl, Erik Bordeleau, Evgeny Morozov, Joanna Pope, Keller Easterling, Leo Altaras, Ludger Hovestadt, Ludwig Engel, Mara Balestrini, Mark Wigley, Meghan Rolvien, Mitchell Joachim, Mohamed Bourouissa, Oana Bogdan, Omoju Miller, Patrik Schumacher, Sandra Bartoli, Sonja Junkers, Suhail Malik, Vanessa Yeboha, Vint Cerf. Initiated in 2019 they aim to tell a (hi)story that today we call future. A full list of contributors can be found at www.2038.xyz.
