Citizen Manifesto is an installation by Hakuhodo and the Ars Electronica Futurelab that unites citizens to reimagine collective futures. In response to overwhelming global challenges, it invites participants to move from passive observation to active dialogue.
They discuss what it means to be a citizen today and in the future, how to claim rights and contribute to realizing future actions.
The participants’ conversations are recorded and interpreted by an AI that transforms key ideas into visual messages. These form the basis of Citizen Manifesto posters, which participants can modify and publish on a collective manifesto wall. In this way, cutting-edge technology is introduced not as a directive force, but as a responsible tool for empowering the co-creation of civic missions.
