An educational programme for schools in the Gulliver airship
How did an airship come to “land” on top of the strict and clean features of the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art? Why is it called Gulliver? What is it made of and what makes it so “different”?
This programme will help you understand what is good about otherness and variety and how it relates to sustainability. On an exploratory mission you will look at Gulliver and planet Earth from various angles and will engage various senses; for a while your world will shrink, other times you will. You will find out why in 2014 the airship’s co-author Martin Rajniš received the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, and will then try out sustainable materials for yourself.
Together, we will search for the basic pre-requisite for pluralism, that there are various and sundry paths to a correct solution. During the closing recycling workshop, you will test this concept and create your own vessels for a voyage through our little universe.

Storybox: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
How much does narrative need illustration and image need a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery like this, and the exhibition within it, is like a big box full of stories and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational material from Kamila Ženata's exhibition of abstract paintings Everything Like at the Dawn of the World.

#Datamaze: The Magic of Design
Design is all around us - in both the natural and human world. It's an excellent helper, but can also easily become a means of seduction and deception. In the digital world, design defines how we interact with the virtual universe behind the monitor.
#Datamaze: Fake it!
The Internet and especially social networks make active use of the phenomenon of popularity. The more likes, followers, tweets, posts, blogs, photos… the greater trust people place a virtual identity.
