And suddenly people are no longer individuals: an endless crowd jams up in front of a bottleneck, a sea of people cheering at a football match. What happens when we merge with the crowd? This exhibition deconstructs the negative image of the crowd from different angles. Discover the constricting, liberating and astonishing effect when we are many.
When we leave our four walls, we are quickly confronted with crowds of people: on the street, on the train, in the swimming pool, at a concert, at a folk festival and at a demonstration - or in the Museum of Communication on a rainy Sunday. People in a crowd often have nothing to do with each other and yet we perceive them as a whole, as a togetherness. The crowd and the people are in constant communication with each other - unintentionally, unintentionally, unconsciously.
What physical laws apply in crowds? How can crowds be controlled and dangerous situations avoided? When do we sing better, alone or in a group? And what dynamics do crowds develop on the internet and on social media? The successful exhibition from Paris gets to the bottom of all this and shows how we can best behave in crowds.
Developed and realized by the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie (Paris).
We recommend the exhibition for ages 13 and up. The content is available in German, French and English.
