Be with me on this beautiful last pre-apocalyptic lapse of the universe before they tell us that even our own planet doesn’t exist. It’s been four years, but now I cannot do it alone anymore. Doesn’t matter what you think about Pluto, it’s the end of the sentence that really matters. That affirmative fuchsia dot that believes in believing and reaches the unattainable with all the fervor, knowing that it’s futile and still trying.

Pluto Bleibt is an ongoing research into the nature and inner working of protest movements. Taking its inspiration from Berlin campaigns to reclaim public spaces (Køpi Bleibt) and the recent protest movements (Occupy Wall Street in the US, For Fair Elections in Russia), Pluto Bleibt bases itself on the relentless belief in impossible fiction devoid of any ideological core. It’s a decentralized public action platform where the participants are invited to form networks, exchange resources and ideas, and propagate the message (symbolized by the fuchsia dot) using the public spaces, word-of-mouth, social networks, conferences, advertising, printed agitprop materials. Each fuchsia dot is a node in the spatio-temporal network of attention that we are trying to create. Pluto Bleibt is a campaign to draw lines between these dots and create polysingular entity that rejoices in its co-isolated multiplicity and yet insists on its specificity.

As of December 2011 there are more than 700 posters distributed around Berlin and a large group of people supporting the cause. The informational center that aggregates information about all the activities is available on www.plutobleibt.com.
