 World-Infostructure
From The Alphabet to the Internet |
|
World-Infostructure takes
us into the cultural
and technological
foundations of our
global Internet society.
The journey into the
world of information
begins with the
alphabet and travels
via Internet to the
most recently
developed high-end
technologies. Through
a highly informative
presentation, visitors
experience how
information resources
extend throughout the
world, and to where
and in which forms the
data streams flow.

World-C4U
Meeting Your Virtual Doppelganger |
|
World C4U - is defined by state-of-the-art security and control technologies. Command, Control, Computer and Communication (C4) are the keywords for the visitors' encounter with technologies like electronic voice recognition, digital finger printing and the iris scan. During their tour of the exhibition, visitors' data tracks are recorded via an integrated closed circuit TV system; this ultimately leads to everyone getting to "meet" their virtual double.
