Otherside is an evolving, collaborative encyclopedia of creative explorations. Instead of collecting fixed facts, it traces living processes - the ways people think, make, choose, and move through the world.
We invite you to explore these alternatives for yourself.
We live inside systems shaped by capitalism, speed culture, and the quiet expectation to stay efficient, certain, silent, and productive at all times. Under those conditions, reflection becomes a luxury and experimentation becomes risky and intimidating. Otherside is an intentional counterpoint: a space where imperfect attempts matter, where curiosity has room, and where you can follow a thread without knowing where it leads - even if you're not sure you'll agree with where it ends up.
A traditional encyclopedia gathers knowledge. Otherside activates it; turning understanding into something you can experience, sense, and expand, through practice, reflection and imagination.
We're not building an archive to read, but an environment to learn, teach, share, and create within. It's a space that grows through participation.
We know it's a complex idea. It's layered and a bit abstract. But in case you want to go down the rabbit hole with us, we've created a glossary and a visual map to help you navigate the structure behind it.

Over time, this website will become much lighter and easier to grasp at a glance. But right now we're focused on building a clear foundation, making the thinking visible before we refine how it looks. Language is one of the ways we do that. It takes time to translate abstract ideas into words, but it's a necessary first step before everything else unfolds.
If you ever want more context on who we are, have feedback, or just want to continue down the rabbit hole, just reach out. We'd love to hear from you. And if you're in Berlin and want to grab coffee, even better.
Welcome to Wonderland.
