Autostadt, the themepark and communications platform of Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, opened a new installation “Mobiglobe”. The project has been conceived and produced by Hosoya Schaefer Architects, Zurich (Concept, script) in collaboration with blm film production, Hamburg (Production, script, direction), Shiftcontrol Studios, Copenhagen (Production interactive stations), Buro Destruct, Berne (Graphic consulting, styleguide) and Autostadt.

The installation shows mobility as the systemic interplay between transportation, city structure, resource flows and lifestyle. Its main message is that sustainable mobility needs to be based not only on improved cars running on renewable energy or new solutions for public transport, but also on urban planning strategies, resource management and changes in personal lifestyle. Only with combined measures in all areas can mobility truly be optimized.

In the film, presented on six over-sized rear projection panels arranged like the windows of a car, four visionaries are presenting their projects or concepts; in the same space, six interactive stations add detail and explain the defining parameters of each project.
