Körper und Geist

In the organizer's words:

Will man and machine become one?

New technologies are fulfilling age-old human dreams: no more diseases, no more ageing, perhaps eternal life.

At the same time, however, the technical possibilities also give rise to frightening visions of optimized fellow human beings, genetically manipulated babies and cyborgs. How do we reconcile this as a society? The exhibition shows current exhibits that raise questions about the possible future. Where will the fitness tracker trend take us? What happens when medical facilities receive our health data live? Will medically necessary prostheses and implants turn people into cyborgs? The exhibition uses many hands-on stations to convey modern medical technology and biotechnology, outlining the advantages and disadvantages and getting to the bottom of the question of what actually makes a person human. At the end, visitors can decide for themselves how far away we really are from the medical tricorder from the sci-fi series "Star Trek", which is also on display.
