The exhibition route PEOPLE. WORK. AI. illustrates the digital transformation of the world of work. At eight different stops, discover how artificial intelligence is changing the world of work and how the digital transformation is also becoming a reality in our region.

Our exhibition will soon be available to listen to as well: we are currently working on an audio guide that will provide you with fascinating insights and information right there on the spot. You’ll soon be able to explore the exhibition in this way.

Touring exhibition route.

Zollverein Coal Mine

The Zollverein Coal Mine and Coking Plant in Essen was once the largest hard coal mine in the world. Today, the former industrial site is a vibrant hub for education, science, culture and leisure, and a place of forward-looking transformation. Following the closure of the colliery in 1986 and the coking plant in 1993, the site has developed into a diverse cultural and educational hub and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The venue could hardly be more fitting for our exhibition: with the exhibition route PEOPLE. WORK. AI., funded by the BMFTR and presented as part of the AI Biennale, we are turning our attention to the world of work of tomorrow. We are delighted to be able to present the exhibition on the grounds of the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Until 8 December, you can visit and explore the exhibition free of charge at the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex from Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 6.00 pm.
