Futurium
Permanent Exhibition, 2019

At Futurium, a 3,000 m² comprehensive and permanent exhibition welcomes visitors to explore potential futures. Its mix of analogue and digital media make complex information and competing ideas of the future easily accessible. Large-scale spatial design concepts create three “thinking spaces” and an introductory space, each dramatically different in mode and atmosphere.

Above the staircase leading up to the exhibition, an expansive installation reminiscent of a tornado whirls upwards. This display represents the exponential development with which global processes such as CO² emissions increase and population growth that has taken place over the last two hundred years.

A “token-wristband” can be used at media stations to evaluate visions of the future and collect information on individual topics. At the end of the visit, it sets a huge “future machine” in motion. The machine issues a card printed with individualized motives and a personal code that can be used after visiting the exhibition to access and retrieve in-depth information on topics of interest via a web interface.
