Atelier Van Lieshout proposes collectively organized forms of working and living that circumvent conventional categories (see their Disciplinator project). The collective is currently working on a sinister utopian project that, they hope, will be highly efficient and profitable.

Formerly known as the Call Centre, Slave City is an up-to-date concentration camp made out of the latest technology and with the newest management insights. The highly profitable Slave City (7 billion euro net profit per year) is provided with all necessary facilities to make sure that the inhabitants (called "participants") are as efficient as possible. Values, ethics, esthetics, morals, food, energy, economics, organization, management and market are turned upside-down, reformulated and designed into a town of 200.000 inhabitants.

They all work 7 hours a day on tele-services such as customers service, ICT, telemarketing, computer programming etc. After that, they work 7 hours on the fields or workshop and the rest of their time is used for education, sleep and other necessities. This Slave City is a self sufficient ´green town´ that does not use or waste the worlds resources and does not produce any waste material because of efficient recycling.
