The temporary exhibition ‘rumour’ at the Museum of Communication in Bern ended on July 4. iart contributed two particular installations to the exhibition: One Pepper’s Ghost installation with a miniature rumour agent, who talks directly to the visitors, starts a chat and tries to worm a rumour out of them, and a whispering forest with 74 thematically connected rumours which are heard whispered out of the forest. With almost 30,000 visitors and a good response of media, the project was a big success. It will be on display at Museum for Communication in Berlin from october 2010 forward and later at Museum für Communication in Frankfurt. 
Since 1 July visitors are offered a look into the scientific work of CERN (the European Council for Nuclear Research) and its particle accelerator LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in Geneva.

The miniature universe has been realised by the scenographers ATELIER BRÜCKNER together with iart interactive and tegoro solutions.
