Fantastic interactive animals sculptures park

1. A new concept of sustainable Zoo

2. In the past, just few people could travel.
Documentaries and books were scarce,
and internet did not exist
Zoos were a way to propose a direct experience
with animals, even if in captivity

3. The zoos were visited by many citizens, and especially by
children of all ages

4. For many years animals have lived in cages
Now all this is no longer necessary,
nor acceptable

5. ARTISTS MAKERS
INTERNET
ArkiZoicPark

6. It’s a park of interactive sculptures that represent imaginary or extinct animals
Sleipnir, Unicorns, Phoenicians, Mammoth, Yeti, Gnomes, Automatas, Minotaurs

7. Thanks to tablet or smartphone, adults
and children interact with the sculptures

8. Through an app the animals can be entered as characters in
stories and fairy tales.
Writers and artists collaborate on the construction of stories

9. SUSTAINABILITY
Municipalities and
organizations provide
intervention areas. ArkiZoic
Park team coordinate the
project
Artists and makers

Sponsors fund the work
Crowdfunding

10. Every year new calls are published
The project grows with time
