"Innovation und Technologie" – "Innovation and technology"

On the cardboard behind the front pane of glass is a small six-sided stain - with a lot of imagination you can see in it the silhouette of a UFO. And - inside it two tiny specks of light are twinkling. They are the ends of two glass fibers - a whole bunch of them are are flashing inside the box. The side glass panels allow one to see this inner life, and also two pictures: planet earth in muted colors and a black and white photograph of a landscape with a small settlement, the latter has been turned on its side and is now only a back wall of the yellowed box. "Innovation and Technology", are what, according to Angela Merkel, Greta Thunberg forgot to talk about in her speech to the United Nations on 24. Sept. 2019.
