About Us
March 21st, 2009
The Venus Project is an organization that proposes a feasible plan of action for social change, one that works towards a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative to strive toward where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life.
We operate out of a 21.5-acre Research Center located in Venus, Florida.
You can learn more about the direction and objectives here.
More about Venus Project founder Jacque Fresco here.

hi dear mr fresco first i want to congratulate about all your forces and your ideas adn second y want to work wih you we are started to create a new perspective we are musician and we wish work wiht you we are from mexico but we have a increible ideas about it
we hope you answer thank you
I am very honored to be able to be in touch with minds such as yours. I would like to be as active in this movement and will keep educating people concerning what is real! The time is NOW and i’m sure your aware of how deep individuals minds or buried underneath all the illusions.
Dear Mr. Fresco,
I am quite pleased that you have done the things I’ve seen so far (Zeitgeist Project, Designing the Future, etc.,). I wonder who else is involved in these things with you. Is there a team? And is there a way for you to draw upon the many experiences and insights that are outside this group?
Again, thank you for your amazing vision and work.

Fantastic! The Overhall design, based upon biospherical thinking and a tune to human emotions and energies is without a doubt the way forward.
The concepts that you use are built upon rational,human,thoughts.And your designs patterns for implimentations Are what soem would regard as the utopian pathway.
I would give all my time to push forward with these ideals to become a reality.I may not see them in my life but for my childrens children it would be worth all blood swaet and tears.
Send me as much information as you can and tell me what you would require of me..

Dear Jacque The Russian editorship office of Esquire Magazine appeals
to the most profound thinkers of Present Time with the only short, but
in the same time difficult question “By what would everything be
changed?”
Please, tell our Russian readers what is your version of the reply to
the question “By what would everything be changed?”
- May everything be changed at once or there should be any gradual
transition from one social-cultural and economic structure into
another?
- You say that the humanity must refuse the monetary system, but how
to do it in practice?
- Please explain, how to start installation of renewable energy
systems or building magnetic levitation train systems and tunnels for
them under a new Resource-Based Economy? Do you think people would
work for just an idea not for money?
- You say that in the future there won’t be any prisons, jurisprudence
as a science of law and everybody will have equal rights and
opportunities… Do I understand you rightly if I say that you mean
that all the human beings are absolutely equal and you exclude any
cast system, any elite social layers in the future condition of
sufficiency and prosperity?
- In the last “ZEITGEIST” movie you affirm that humanity must refuse
from existing politic and economic systems because they are an
obstacle, they impede an implementation and adoption of new
technologies and new universal social and spiritual values. But you
have talked about that matter since 70’s of the past century, haven’t
you? Before you, many thinkers such as Pier-Joseph PROUDHON etc.
hinted at an injustice in the existing social and economic structure
in the meaning of way of life. But what happened with their ideas?
Aren’t you afraid of perversion and distortion of your initial idea or
that everything bad thing will exist on the same basis but with a new
facade like a disease going deeply inside the body? For example in
Russia we have’ had the particular social experiment where the ideas
of socialism were distorted and we had a system of totalitarianism
with the same bad factors like modern capitalism.
- How do you feel the real situation and its development in the
nearest future in a global sense? How much time do we have in order
to conscious of the necessity for immediate changes and then realize
them in life? By other words, how much time does the humanity have to
reach the fatal point of non returning. What would be next with
humanity when we cross that line where that point is reached?
- You say that America moves to the fascism but what do you think
about Russia? Where does Russia move now? What role does Russia play
in the global arena for now time in fact?
- And what role may Russia play in the new Resource-Based Economy in
your opinion?
hello. i am very supportive about your ideas. i only have one question about this new sistem. when the population start to increase, it whould be the space and resources necessary to the population? how? thank you i really admire you

I found a way to produce electricity from water without chemical reaction. Someone called it electrokinetic effects of fluids and patented a different device that works almost like mine. I don’t want to patent it because I don’t want money. All I want is people that understand and make experiments like me to reach higher results. The sequence of the materials I use is this: TIN(metal)-GRAPHITE-WATER-SILICON-TIN-GRAPHITE-WATER-SILICON … etcetera.I used glasses to make the first experiments. Every glass contains two electrodes, one is a graphite from a pencil and the other is a piece of monocrystalline silicon, and water .I join the silicon piece to the graphite of the other glass with tin, the one you use to sold wires. Every glass gives me from 0.2 to 0.6 volts.So I made smaller cells because it seems that the size of the elements is not important for the voltage. The amperage is very low but both the voltage and the amperage increase with the amount of the cells. I closed the cells so water can’t evaporate. Now it works for more than one month. I connected two capacitors to discharge them from time to time.
If you have a chance you can make a bigger generator working on water.Please feel free to contact me at stefan.danov@yahoo.it or if you use skype look for “steblizz”.
Dear Jaque,
Has it not always been the case that humanity has defined itself through adversity and struggle?, and if in all our hearts we desire peace and prosperity and a future for generations to come..the elite set us against ourselves..is there such a thing as a bloodless revolution? how can this be achieved? The venus project is fascinating and deserving of global exposure…but how will this society be governed? no matter how much they have people always want more..who will make the rules?

You can never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

I am curious, does the Venus Project have a renewable energy system in operation? I greatly appreciate the form of this architecture and will continue to pay close attention as well as refer the Project to many. jb
Received 5 dvds today and one Extra “DESIGNING THE FUTURE” with a sticky note written,- A GIFT
Love gifts like this one!
Thank you so much
Makes me feel good
I’ve been trying to read everything related with The Venus Project, but the links are broken.
to John Greene those are good questions and pionts I am not jaque but I think I have some good answers. from the knowledge I have the only succesfull revalutions have been bloodless. causing someone to act a sertain way through fear and force is terrorism.you have to stop contributing to the elite to do this you must find a way to have a self energizing home, grow youre own food, get an electric vehical or in other words try to spend the least amount of money this is the bloodless revolt against the elite .have you ever haerd the expresion rules are made to be broken lots of people have this idea. plus the fact that rules are just made becaus no one lookes for a solution. most people cause crimes for money so not having a currency solves that problem. but the truth is there will always and forever be problems that need to be solved and rules, laws, police, and war stunts problem solving it infact causes more problems. i hope I have answered youre questions if you or others have questions abuot my answers let me know. somthing I have always lived by is to always question everything and my favorite quote from zietgiest “when the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace
WELL SAID LISA
Dear All
The Venus project is a noble way to change the society. It minimises greed, corruption and exc. It would improve lives overall in all societys. It all sounds very nice…
But I cant see how this Resource-Based Economy can come to be. The transfer over is so dramatic that the only thing that could happen is chaos and alot of problems. Image there would be no money.. Would everyone be voulenteers?
People would still have too work minimal hours in supporting the society. Jobs they would not like to do…
How is your plan changing over to the Resource-Based Economy??
The only thing I have seen is the complete new society, how would you make the transfer, without implementing chaos?
Best of luck, Hawk
Dear Mr. Fresco, I am fascinated by your work and you’ve decided to make known your thoughts and suggestions, and everything I used to have an opportunity that you may be aware. It’s Facebook, where I have built a group that bears the name The Venus Project. I hope it will help and make this known to project. So far we have about 90 members and rising daily. The members come from all sorts of directions and belong to many nations.
Thus, I remain always at your service, your Harald Riek
What implications should be drawn from the for sale sign for the Venus, FL property?
Hello
My name is Ola. I live in Poland. I thought about idea of living without money some time ago. And tried to explain it to my husband.
I never heard about You before. That is great, that there is so many people thinking like me. I hope, this world will come some day. Reading about your work is like seeing my stupid dreams .
Thanks.
Sorry for my English
Hello Mr. Jacque,
Your insight into the causes of today’s problems are intriguing. I commend your effort thus far but still wonder how possible and workable it will be. Considering the extent to which the present order has gone, the powers in control may not subscribe to your proposal. Apart from a radical rejuvination of the mentality of the low class, what else is needed for your proposed change?
I deeply respect Mr. Fresco.
Love what you people are doing. In movie you did not even mention the massive energy loss from methane that escapes from our sewers. Process human waste in a gas generator and use it to run an electric generator. This also produces pathogen free fertilizer. The transition to resource based economy will happen when world bank loans interest free money to third world to pay off their debts. The same thing may be effected if US citizens are allowed to pay their doctors with IOUs which doctors cash at banks and banks record money owed to the US by the patient who gets to make a payment at tax time. The IOUs would be interest free money.
A “Quest Most Noble” it definitely project being, alas it bound to fail if present human natures persist. But not to worry as Ultimate Paradigm Shift of Attitude will definitely take place worldwide that will change our present course of human history towards one where we worldwide being HUMANITY ALL. It be Sciences of Spirituality that which humans of present era not know or presently wills think it “Bullshit”, thinking science is “Golden”. Ah how little people do know so truth of their own individual reality, let alone collective universal reality in present age of “MAN”.
Hi there,
I’ve blogged about your project on my site which is looking at selfless giving as a way forward. Take a look and let me know what you think:

To all at Venus Project,
I just finished watching your ZEITGEIST II Addendum on YOUTUBE and enjoyed it very much.
I currently work with the US Military (as a civilian), in the heart of the inefficient society you outline as the antithesis to what you’re proposing here. I’m been called enigmatic, however, since I’m also a writer and musician, so (through those experiences) know I have something to offer a society such as you outline (music, poetry and creativity).
Ergo, this short note to let you know that I’ll be reading through your blogs, watching your videos and so forth, as well as communicating with folks here to see what might be available for me to contribute.
Ciao for now!
