The seamy side

Nobody should feel safe - not even a little bird or a kind-hearted hipster. The Institute is a main sponsor of street hooliganism.

A different kind of street art

This is The Institute laughing and having fun at the expense of the Citizens.

We are all in this together

Everything in the natural world is connected. An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things that work together. 
Mikael Jansson

The visitor

A visitor from a faraway land. He had sailed all the oceans, climbed the mountains and walked the streets. Was he here to show us that The Institute isn't invincible?

Empty the trash bin...

...and permanently delete all files of The Institute.

When they're smiling

When The Institute puts up posters and other more subtile ads with smiling faces it can only mean one thing: The Institute calls for an Election. Deep inside the citizens know that all the smiling faces in one way ore another are representing The Institute. Nevertheless they are accepting the illusion...is it because they're smiling?
Mikael Jansson

Any discontent will be registered

Please remember that The Institute is capable of monitoring behavior too. So, please pick up the balloon and smile.

Back in Retrograd

Looking like Yoda the Kindl man said: "You should follow the white mustangs. They will show you what matters in life." "It's a car, It's a car!" I screamed. There was no answer. The Kindl man had left the building.

Rainy days

The Institute Van. People who take a walk in the rain are soon picked up and transported back to the Retreat or some other Rehabilitation establishment.

Before I go...

...to the valley below.

Suspicious Behavior

Walking in another direction than authorized by The Institute is suspicious. In the control room of the surveillance cameras there is an immediate face detection. When identified, the citizen will be prosecuted and eventually sent to a rehabilitation centre.

Dead end

The breakthrough comes because you’ve exhausted all of your resources. And you know what? All breakthroughs happen in exactly the same way. There’s a wall in front of you and you have to break it. And all breakthroughs happen because of an act of faith. 
Mikael Jansson

I died twice from running over spider ants

Everyday life in the era of The Institute.

not a smoke screen

It is smog generated by The Large Engine that has replaced them all.

Coming out of the shadows

This could be good news or bad news.
Mikael Jansson

O lullaby of the soul, the song of something else!

You are wandering off, losing yourself
Don’t be in such a rush
Stop a little
Wait
in the fall when
in the fall when all gates / Gunnar Ekelöf

Plan B

Hats off to you and good luck!

Hard to find

The Institute wants something from you. You have to be connected and prepared to participate. They want to analyze you, categorize you. They want you to consume, inhale and receive. Peace of mind is hard to find.
Mikael Jansson

there are places

Yes, there are still places designed by architects who were not incorporated by The Institute.
Mikael Jansson

Affordable homes

The Institute works through financial institutions to increase access to finance for property construction and mortgages.
