Microbial Odyssey

Embark on the journey into the unseen universe inside of us - The Microbiome. These microorganisms have been thriving long before the first humans walked the planet Earth. Through collaborative behaviour, these tiny agents managed to inhabit every corner of our planet and constituted the very basis of Life.

We present you with an immersive experience that narrates the story of a microbiome facing environmental changes and bacterial threats. Your quest as a participant is to navigate this rich world in its flourishing and diverse days as well as resolve its difficulties as it becomes less varied and more vulnerable. Moreover, you'll have to commit to decisions that impact you as well as others. Hint: trust your gut feeling!

The Microbial Odyssey constitutes a powerful experiential metaphor of how both micro- and macro- worlds are intertwined and how they require cooperation, empathy and diversity to thrive in the face of today's planetary challenges.
