Making international networking and its impacts visible

What is the effect of globalization on design? To find answers to this question, we transferred the idea of the global village to an abstract urban environment. A tour of the exhibition leads from the airport via a shopping mall, supermarket, and clothing store, to the shipping container port, thus covering the realms of mobility, communication, cultural transfer, and trade. They are staged on low pedestals using various exhibits and artworks on visual narratives. The reaction to globalization, regionalism, is also given a place here.
