In 2025, a Hungarian astronaut could go into space. Meanwhile, international space agencies and research institutes are predicting the establishment of permanent bases and even the possibility of humans living beyond Earth’s orbit by 2030-2040. We have every reason to wonder how all this will affect us. How will the development of space exploration impact our daily lives on Earth, and what might a day in space look like twenty years from now? How will our housing, clothing, eating habits, and social relationships change in the cosmos?

 

The ten finalist teams provide different answers to these questions. With the help of mentor pairs consisting of MOME students and lecturers, the developed plans are presented in the form of animations, magazines, board game designs, material samples, prototypes, and movie posters. All the projects take as a starting point that our planet will be unlivable within a few decades, so their constructive ideas can also be seen as a way of raising awareness. Their visions allow us to learn about working on Mars, living conditions in artificial space cities, possibilities for transplanting and genetically modifying Earth’s plant life, and the future of zero-waste fashion.

INSPIRATION FOR THE INSTALLATION:
THE UMBILICAL CORD

The exhibition design draws inspiration from the pixel world of the competition’s brand identity and the extraterrestrial experiences of spacewalks. In addition to the sensations of floating, unusual spatial perception, and references to technology and metallic materials, in the form of a serpentine table, the exhibition space also features the motif of the safety tether, the so-called "umbilical cord", that connects astronauts to the spacecraft.
