A 15-meter-wide by 3.5-meter-high projection wall with side reflectors blurs the boundary between the room and the media surface, drawing visitors into a continuous visual field.

Animated typography, diagrams, and associative imagery introduce four dynamic themes: demographic change, globalization, digitalization, and sustainability.

Three recurring characters – for example entrepreneur, a student, and a bookseller – voice different viewpoints, making abstract issues tangible through everyday perspectives.

During the 15-minute staging, a floor-based quiz appears, inviting visitors to step into illuminated answer fields. Their physical choices influence the course of the projection and reveal the consequences of different opinions.

Observation shifts into participation and visitors see their stance on economic questions reflected back at room scale.

At the Future Face installation, guests can take a portrait at a large touch screen, overlay it with the exhibition’s visual language, add a personal wish for the digital future, and send the resulting image to themselves by email. The exhibition closes with a small, personal commitment to tomorrow.

The Center needed a format that could communicate dense socio-economic topics to school classes, families, and non-experts without losing depth.

The task was to move beyond static diagrams and create a setting where visitors actively position themselves on the future of the social market economy instead of passively consuming information.
