Hi there, dear curious Mind with an Embodied Dopamine System!
What kind of society could emerge when presence, balance, and awareness become central cultural values?
Why do we want what we want?
Why do we chase, crave, consume—and then want more?
I Want More! is a bold, brain-tingling public experience that blends neuroscience, art, movement, and philosophy into one juicy question:
What lies beyond the endless pursuit of “more”?
This was the exclusive sneak peek into UNUM e.V.’s upcoming workshop series, where we’ll crack open the science of dopamine—the molecule of desire—and explore how it fuels love, ambition, addiction, creativity… and maybe even the fate of our societies.

We Want More in 2026!
We will continue with:
- Mind-expanding insights
- Embodied exploration
- Artistic interventions
- Surprises you didn’t see coming
- …and more!
This events are celebrations of curiosity and presence. Rituals of reflection in a world of distraction. Together, we explore the tension between craving and contentment, and imagine what it means to build a culture that values balance over burnout.
No background needed. Just bring your body, your brain, and your sense of wonder.
I Want More! is an original educational-artistic concept created and developed by Eliana Araque and produced by András G. Varga under UNUM Art, Science & Philosophy e.V.
