Renowned progressive designers such as the American John Maeda exhibit boxes of optical tricks. If you touch his installation, your body heat causes the picture to change. Many exhibits raise a chuckle while visitors move through the rooms. Rabbits are photographed as pop stars and sent to the laundry. Corpulent Russian women recline in over-proportional sizes.

The non-systematic arrangement of the works creates interesting contrasts. The exhibition stretches over three stories and has no particular structure, so it is advisable to request some explications from the attendants on individual objects.
