Nowheresville is a multimedia interpretation of utopian ideals, based on the writings of early 19th-century philosopher Charles Fourier. Collaborative duo Knut Hybinette and Troy Richards have created an unusual video game incorporating videos, drawings, and prints exploring Fourier's ideas and the US fringe communities that he inspired, such as the utopian testing ground of Ripon, Wisconsin. The print Family Jams details the current decay and neglect in Ripon, and Study for Town's Edge portrays the derelict homes and lawns of a once ideal living experiment. With a strong political broadcast, Hybinette and Richards probe the fantasies and failures of idealism.
