Citizen Participation Wall

The Citizen Participation Wall serves as an ongoing, continually expanding collection of statements, wishes, and suggestions from all visitors to the Ars Electronica Center.

How do we perceive our current living space? And what does the wishful thinking of our future earth look like and how can each individual contribute to it?

The Citizen Participation Wall serves as an ongoing, continually expanding collection of statements, wishes, and suggestions from all visitors to the Ars Electronica Center – because making our thoughts and dreams visible can help us develop ideas and strengthen the motivation for realizing them.

„I’ve learned that you’re never too small to make a difference.“
– Greta Thunberg

What do we have to hope for?
World Map
What do we have to hope for in the world? What developments would you like to see in the future? Choose a point on the map – what do you wish for this place on earth? Where are there developments going in a direction that you like or dislike? Where would you have an idea for improving the world?

What do I want to do better?
At home
This map stands for your personal everyday life. What little things are you already doing to help bring about the future you wish for the world? What else could you do or just leave as it is?

How are things here?
Living Environment
This is about your environment, the area that you experience and feel at first hand. Think of yourself as a sensor. How dies it feel in certain locals and places? What does it look like there? How does it sound or smell? What did you experience there? Where do you go to recharge your batteries? Where would you like to change something?
