The "Viral" exhibition at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento reopened on September 24th. Learn about the role of Estúdio FCCN in developing new interactive modules.
"Viral" is an interactive exhibition that has toured several countries over the past few years. Recently returned from France, "Viral" includes several modules that reflect on the theme of "Contagion." The current context, resulting from the novel coronavirus pandemic, led Ciência Viva to add a new interactive module on Covid-19, using the FCT's FCCN Studio to do so.
The focus of this collaboration was audio capture, with the goal of recording various content for inclusion in the interactive exhibition. This way, through voiceovers from the FCCN Studio, it became possible to address topics such as the origins of the Covid-19 epidemic and the fake news associated with it, for example.
"Viral" is described as an exhibition for families, schools, and adults. Its interactive modules explore the phenomenon of contagion through the lens of various fields of knowledge, ranging from biology to epidemiology, social sciences, and psychology.
Opened in 2015, at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento, this exhibition is a creation of the Ciência Viva agency, in partnership with the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie museums, in Paris, and Heureka, in Helsinki.
