On April 11th and 12th, 2015, visitors to the Rochester Public Library were invited to imagine that they were building a new home on Mars, a utopian city called Neo-Rochester. As a fictional ideal city, far away from the social, economic, political, cultural, and physical structures of present-day Earth, visitors were challenged to articulate what a better future might look like. Each visitor drew a component (building, infrastructure, etc.) that should be included in Neo-Rochester. Each drawing was cut out and adhered to a 4-foot x 13-foot painting of an empty Martian landscape prepared ahead of time by Chris Rackley. As more drawings are added, the ideal city grew into a collage of the participants’ collective notions of an urban utopia. The finished collage was displayed at the Rochester Public Library.
