Where science meets society: Together with the Vienna Natural History Museum and INSEQ Design, the Ars Electronica Futurelab has attempted to meet the challenge of connecting science and society: Deck 50, a new platform for Citizen Science in the NHM, is designed for networking and intensive exchange between everyday expertise and research. The innovative, versatile and changeable museum area opend in the the traditional house on Vienna's Ring and invites diverse everyday experts of all ages and educational levels and from all backgrounds to join in, experience science up close and personal, and transform from passive consumers into researchers. By means of Citizen Science, the museum awakens the researcher's instinct in the population: With the collaboration of interested amateurs, the digital system is filled with data and opinions, everyday knowledge, or even visual statements that can be evaluated and interpreted by the scientists. Cutting-edge technologies support the scientific communication process with a series of interactive research stations, transparent touch displays and Virtual Worlds.
Learn more about Citizen Science and a paradigm shift in methods of science communication in this Deck 50 video documentation with Katrin Vohland, Director General of the Museum of Natural History Vienna, Iris Ott, Head of the Science Communication Department and head of the Deck 50 project at the NHM, scientific staff members Karina Grömer, Vera Hammer, Andreas Kroh and Frank Zachos, as well as Jakob Illera, exhibition designer at INSEQ Design, and Marianne Eisl and Stefan Mittlböck-Jungwirth-Fohringer, Key Researchers & Artists in the Ars Electronica Futurelab.
