Expedition.Digital
A series of mosaic illustrations for the Expedition.Digital educational roadshow in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Educational roadshow of the 4th Industrial Revolution in Baden-Württemberg
Welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution, the era of cyber-physical systems. Automation, Artificial intelligence, genome editing, nanotechnology... So many cozy terms, so many directions to take, so many challenges to meet... Some of us are afraid, some of us are excited, and some of us believe that the future is always positive as long as we are prepared and educated to face it.
The Baden-Württemberg Stiftung (Baden-Württemberg Foundation), one of the major foundations in Germany investing in the future of the state of Baden-Württemberg – and thus in the future of its citizens, has created a very ambitious program called Expedition D, where D stands for Digital. Expedition D is trying to bring the youth and the state of Baden-Württemberg closer to the principles and directions of the 4th industrial revolution. One of the tools they have chosen is a roadshow truck that students from schools across the state can visit to learn, play, and get closer to challenging ideas such as Work 4.0, Big Data, Business Angel, Digital Literacy, Mixed Reality, and many more.
I have been commissioned by Flad & Flad, their communication agency, to create 7 mosaic illustrations depicting some of the main examples of cyber-physical systems, made from icons of many of the terms and symbols associated with the 4th Industrial Revolution.
