When touched the crystals start to glow. From underneath the crystal grains of salt pour over the table and merge into an information window, which displays details of the chosen salt mine through text, images and movies.

In a 10 minute long guided mode, the tour guide explains the salt production, consumption, usage, and other relevant topics. Each topic is explained by a dynamically generated animation; e.g. he salt particles that formed the tower Taipei 101 to symbolize daily amount of salt production worldwide transforms into a path between Brazil and Japan to represent salt trade routes between countries across continents.

Standing next to centuries old salt mine technology, the installation offers a new approach of learning through a dynamic and immersive experience. Through the computational design process, the behavior of the salt world is tweaked by algorithmic parameters, thus result in a living and evolving experience that changes over time.
