Empathic Futures –
Interactive exhibition exploring the future of human-machine partnerships
For: Volkswagen With: FELD studio
Machines and transportation systems are becoming increasingly complex and more intelligent. How can we establish more trust in future systems, and how can we better communicate with them?
The Empathic Futures exhibition explores these questions and opens up new perspectives – by creating a space for debate and inspiration and by inviting visitors to imagine, speculate and dream. At the exhibition's core stands the Empathic Futures app experiment, in which 500 participants communicated with their personal Empathic Intelligence.
The exhibition was shown in Berlin from November 2017 until February 2018 at the Drive Volkswagen Group Forum.
