For the newly established museum Futurium in Berlin, mischer’traxler studio was asked to develop two kinetic projects that deal about interconnectivity within our social environments. Inspired by woven networks that perfectly represent how each and everyone is indirectly connected with everyone else, both realized projects utilize real thread to make these connections moveable and visible.

The bigger project plural visualizes democratic structures and various roles an individual can play in social structures. It mainly consists of motors that gently move an elastic string and thus, slightly but apparent, change the taut lines.

plural works through the actions of the audience. 
The visitors own (inter)actions become immediately visible as the entire network changes – the longer one interacts with the installation, the bigger is their impact is on the network
Specific terms, such as equality, dominance, empowerment and more, on the frame and as a choreographed movement of the installation give a glimpse on what role we can assume in a society and how different the possibilities are.
