Exhibition: twentyforty – Utopias for a Digital Society

The twentyforty exhibition explores the digital utopias of thirteen visionary researchers from different fields of expertise. It asks: What will the world look like two decades from now? How will we work, live, love, learn in twentyforty?

Digital technologies have changed our lives significantly in the last twenty years. With the looming rise of AI, virtual reality and data ubiquity it seems evident that the biggest changes still lie ahead of us. What will be next? Beyond the stories themselves the exhibition features audio-visual experiments in science communication and knowledge transfer. Visitors will be invited to dive into future visions of the digital society based on the expertise of the thirteen scientists and engage with pressing questions about our lives twenty years from now.
The exhibition takes place as „pioneer project“ at the pilot project Haus der Statistik which is coordinated by five co-operation partners (Koop5) from civil society and administration.

About the project:

“twentyforty” is an anthology, consisting of thirteen visionary stories written by researchers in various disciplines, addressing the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies present for our future society in 2040. It started as an essay competition and is an exceptional experiment in science communication. In addition to the anthology, other formats have emerged in the context of twentyforty. The website twentyforty.hiig.de features the anthology to be downloaded free of charge via Open Access as well as background information on the texts and discursive resources.
