AI and Democracy: What Future Do We Want?

Symbiosis project exhibited in Bern

May 15 to December 13, 2025     
Tour de la Démocratie, Berne.

From May 15 to December 13, 2025, the Polit-Forum Bern presents the exhibition “AI and Democracy: What Future Do We Want?” 

Symbiosis envisions a future of democracy where citizens, living beings, and AI collaborate to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. 
In this installation, you embody a Swiss citizen in the year 2050. By scanning the different artifacts within the installation, you contribute to the database of the "Mayor of Earth," an AI that proposes laws and helps the population address major ecological and digital issues. 
Based on the reintegration of electronic waste and mycelial networks, this AI is made of recycled digital objects and living organic matter.
