Not only was the installation the first to greet visitors of the exhibition, thus having to introduce and transport the exhibition’s core topics. Most importantly it had to be carefully conceived and produced in such a way to stand up to the enormous – and sometimes uncontrollable – willingness, of the more than 30.000 visitors to engage in wild, limitless and untamed play.

Shake off your visual fatigue with live performances by whizz-kid Ben Butler & Mousepad, the ludic duo Gangpol & Mit, energising PAN/TONE and DJ-set by minimal-legend Tobias Thomas (Kompakt). Space out to the visual installation of Motomichi Nakamura and W+K Tokyolab while travelling through the soundscape of Scott Monteith aka Deadbeat. Or propel yourself to the upper level, where O Tannenbaum entangles you in an open mix.
