THE TING
Turning visitors into voices

An interactive exhibition celebrating the Oslo Science Museum’s centennial by turning historical artifacts into civic dialogue.




A custom-built participatory game, interactive table and immersive projection transformed passive viewing into active participation and debate.




PROJECT
Visitors and high school students were invited to explore and discuss the complex relationship between technology and democracy.
The result: a living exhibition where history, technology, and public voice converge—inviting reflection, sparking dialogue, and inspiring future decision-making.
Commissioned for the 100th anniversary of the Norsk Teknisk Museum, the TING reimagined the museum as a modern civic forum.
Visitors and high school students were invited to explore and discuss the complex relationship between technology and democracy.
Visitors engaged with a towering, 25-meter-wide,
projection shelf showcasing 100 technological artifacts, activated through tablets and tangible wooden cubes.
At the center, a circular TING table invited guests to debate and vote on eight provocative technologies—each introduced by an immersive short film examining its societal implications.
The result: a living exhibition where history, technology, and public voice converge—inviting reflection, sparking dialogue, and inspiring future decision-making.
