Bôba Mènde: Building Docutopia – Where Art, Technology, and Humanity Converge
Blending art, cinema, and technology into a unified ecosystem, filmmaker and creative genius Bôba Mènde is reimagining how people, businesses, and communities can collaborate for a more sustainable and inclusive future. Through his groundbreaking platform Docutopia, Mènde metamorphosed the principles of storytelling and mapping into an interactive digital universe where users can exchange ideas, resources, and eco-social initiatives. What began as an artistic experiment in 2016 has evolved into a multi-dimensional project that merges gamification and environmental awareness, offering a new path toward global connection and regenerative living.
Taim Al Falasi: What inspired you to transform your filmmaking and art background into the creation of Docutopia?
Bôba Mènde:
For twenty-five years and still ongoing from my perspective today, cinema is what combines nearly all aspects of the arts. Inspired by all kinds of art forms, now I am inviting every individual, brand, network, business, event, social, streaming, radio, music platform, and messaging service onto DOCUTOPIA’S next multi-app version to build interdisciplinary bridges into a more equal and human future with all.
Taim Al Falasi: Can you describe how Docutopia has developed from its 2016 origin to the 2024 beta
version?
Bôba Mènde:
Its origin, with the help of U-Map and Transfer-Map, the so-called ‘mother of all maps’, planted the seeds of DOCUTOPIA, an interactive digital map platform supporting an urban transformation into regional sovereignty of resources, including self-determination and self-governmental structures, as well as individual responsibilities. This is the main focus. Right now, self-editable map layers are growing together with the edible city collective, which has proven its concept and work by the people themselves.
Taim Al Falasi: How do users engage with Docutopia’s interactive map, and what types of markers,
Are hashtags or layers available?
Bôba Mènde:
Every unique profile allows individuals to point out their one-of-a-kind, everlasting, constantly changing needs and offers geographically. Everyone’s long-term perspectives in life, like happiness, health, kindness, honesty, transparency, well-being, self-realisation, and sustainability, unfold contemporary potentials and synergies as well as opportunities like events, workshops, and possibilities for small and big symbiotic solution-orientated projects and businesses.
Taim Al Falasi: Which technologies—like AI, mapping, or gamification—are pivotal to Docutopia’s
platform, and how do you implement them?
Bôba Mènde:
All of these technologies are going to be featured inside of DOCUTOPIA’S film “While the Future Started Already in the Past”, weaving a tapestry for direct engagement, focusing on a natural, likewise organic, multiverse match map finding engine. Inclusion will be guaranteed through an eco-social-centric approach by implementing a simple way of interaction by design within natural habitats everywhere, even in metropolitan capital city contexts.
Taim Al Falasi: What core social and environmental issues is Docutopia addressing, and how do you
measure its real-world impact?
Bôba Mènde:
People are key to our global village on earth. Planting urban gardens, tiny forests, and edible cities is healing Mother Earth step by step, while educational, ecological, and artistic events and workshops in public parks are teaching indigenous practices, rewilding playgrounds, pedestrian areas, and rooftop gardens, and co-producing healthy soil, water, air, outdoor fireplaces, compost, seed exchange markets, solidarity kitchens with various seasonal veggies, and much more.
Taim Al Falasi: How do eco-heroes, artists, businesses, or governments participate with Docutopia?
And what benefits do they receive?
Bôba Mènde:
This is going to be the upcoming version with a marvellous opportunity on DOCUTOPIA’S inclusive multi-marketplace for cities, collectives, eco-heroes, and governments, as well as businesses, to interact inclusively with their eco-social timelines, where benefits are paid with the cashable in-game currency DcOinS, intertwining every already existing map network easily.
Taim Al Falasi: Could you explain Docutopia’s business model, including NFT IDIs, the DcOinS currency, and future revenue streams?
Bôba Mènde:
Everything is coming to life with DOCUTOPIA’s cinematic release, where inside the feature film, the business model, including IDIs, DcOinS currency, and multiple revenue streams, shows how this supra-m-application as a gamified version will be useful for future generations, supporting older people too by giving prosumers chances for arts, trade, reunion, and inclusivity to prosper.
Taim Al Falasi: What sectors, geographies, or partnerships are you focusing on for expansion, and
How do you plan to scale?
Bôba Mènde:
All peaceful and circular sectors of the economy are welcome to come on board. Together with partners globally, Docutopia’s multiverse opens up all potential for governments, cities, universities, schools, and kindergartens in the near future, earning revenues with this multi-layered game.
Taim Al Falasi: What major obstacles have you encountered with merging art, tech, and social
enterprise, and what key lessons did you learn?
Bôba Mènde:
I am still learning every moment, and obstacles are mainly coming into my life because of my beard, becoming feedback like being their father, which I proudly am too, but sometimes having a beard and long hair brings prejudice as well. So for now, tech giants are invited to contact me directly, and then I can learn and work with a big team growing networks with Docutopia as one.
Taim Al Falasi: What are the next major features or milestones for Docutopia in the coming 12-24
months, and what is your ultimate vision?
Bôba Mènde:
Docutopia’s feature film, together with its game release, is my ultimate vision for the coming 12-24 months. Good news and direct contact are possible via docutopia.de and my art website, 1mproduction.com.
Conclusion:
With Docutopia, Bôba Mènde is not merely building a platform – he is nurturing a living ecosystem of collaboration, creativity, and consciousness. As he prepares for the cinematic release of Docutopia’s feature film and gamified application, his mission remains clear: to unite individuals, cities, and organisations in co-creating a balanced world where art, technology, and sustainability coexist. It’s a bold vision for the future – one that invites everyone to take part in shaping the story of a more human, connected planet.
