Today, digital platforms play a central role in our lives. They are no longer just tools for communicating or searching for information: they are also spaces where new forms of power are exercised. A digital class struggle is emerging
: on one side, those who create (developers, users, etc.). On the other, those who own the networks and appropriate these creations. Those who produce are not the ones who make the decisions.
Elysium is a fictional micronation that takes this logic to the point of absurdity.

With no taxes, no government, and organized like a platform, it recruits workers invited to genetically transform themselves into half-human, half-horse beings, optimized for unlimited productivity. The project brings to light what real techno-capitalism conceals: the erasure of the body, the disappearance of rights, and the total subjugation of living beings to productivity. The quest for the “superhuman” driven by tech billionaires is not a philosophy of emancipation: it is an ideology of domination disguised as optimization. This project invites us to consider possible forms of resistance against these systems.
