The Social Lab presents issues using the universal language of technology. When entering the exhibit, guests walk through the “Prejudice Portal,” a sloped USG ensemble acoustical ceiling encompassed through radius walls. Within the radius walls, a 30-linear-foot niche showcases accessible touch screens. Past the entrance are radius walls that have been warped throughout the floor. Metal studs are in close range to create the full height radius wall look. Translucent “veils” that are made of metal coils and suspended from the ceiling are used to separate areas.
