Private property — Access Forbidden!

The Private property — Access Forbidden! exhibition by the Slovenian artist Jaka Železnikar presents a dystopian generative electronic literature piece set in 2026, depicting a society where all spaces and resources are fully privatized.

Visitors interact by inputting a location, receiving a dynamically generated response outlining the financial and environmental barriers to access. By pushing privatization, commercialization, extraction, and monetization to their extremes, the work critiques the erosion of commons and underscores the urgent need for ecological responsibility and equitable access to natural resources — foundations of both environmental sustainability and human existence.
