Another guest is a spy during the Cold War. Voice recognition allows visitors to interact with this spy and discover more about the spy school through a newspaper that comes to life.

Young people develop their identity by mirroring themselves to others. Social contacts are increasingly online. During the lockdowns, young people were even more dependent on screens. For lessons and lectures, but also in their relationships with family and friends. Researchers from Erasmus MC and the university asked young people how they felt during the lockdowns. A conclusion is that some young people are vulnerable, while others are doing well. Mapping the risks of a lockdown for young people requires more research.

This may be the least natural location in Rotterdam – and this is where we created together with biologist Thijs van Vuure a nature trail. In the Ammanstraat, between Kruiskade and Stadhuisplein, the Back to Nature credo was throwned overboard. In order to get closer to nature, technological advances were embraced rather than exiled: Forward to Nature. By combining technology with the architecture of the city, it was possible to bring visitors into a natural setting. The interactive installation brought you closer to nature without to give up the possibilities that city life offers. Nature on Demand was central here: you decided by choosing your path which natural situation you wanted to find yourself in.
