Digital Democracy
Polit-Forum Bern

The exhibition "Digital Democracy: An interactive journey into the political future" presents the results of various project groups that have been commissioned by the Foundation for Technology Assessment (TA-SWISS) to research how digitalization will influence democracy in the future.
In one video installation, four screens are positioned around a table - visitors are invited to sit between them. On the videos, Anna Boos from Dezemtrum, Moritz Leuenberger, President of TA-SWISS, Nora Räss from the Swiss Federation of Youth Parliaments (FSPJ) and Urs Bieri from gfs.bern discuss the influence of digitalization on politics.
Another video installation using cubic, frameless screens shows how social media is changing the way we inform ourselves politically. It poses the question of to what extent online platforms make politics more transparent and who uses digital means to engage politically in the first place.

Tweaklab is responsible for the planning and installation of these two stations.
