The Installation
The year is 2052. A combination of your genes, lifestyle and gut bacteria is examined by an all‑knowing AI to predict your health risks and guide you to adopting optimal behaviors. The promise: to prevent illness and increase your chances of living a long and healthy life.
With that text, visitors are welcomed to The Centre for Preventive Care. The center consists of three stations, and actors in lab coats play the role of staff.
First, the visitors are asked to leave their samples for examination. The sampling consists of a genetic sample, a digital sample, and a micro-bacterial sample.
At each step, the interactive table shows in real time what kind of information is being uploaded and what diseases it is scanning for. In the case of the phone, it tells you, for example, that it will be looking through your social media accounts, your purchasing history, your conversations or your whereabouts.

The Oracle warns people about conditions such as chronic loneliness, depression, and cognitive decline. She also highlights problematic personal traits and lifestyles, cautioning someone for their excessive risk-taking behavior or their exposure to environmental pollutants. Depending on each person’s biggest health risk, she encourages actions such as taming their sweet tooth, prioritizing social contacts, practicing safer habits in traffic, or moving to a less polluted area.

The prescription is then picked up directly at the last station, which serves as a pharmacy.
There are four different pills: Saccharophobia, which triggers a strong aversion towards sugary foods and drinks; Caution, which heightens one’s sense of alertness to danger; Friendshipability, which improves one’s capacity to interact and connect with others; and Biophilia, which intensifies one’s attraction to nature.
After the healthcare visit is done, we invite people to reflect on their experience and engage in a dialogue with us and fellow visitors.
