"Pavilhao de Portugal" expo 1998

The theme for the Expo 1998 was WATER.

The Portuguese chose to stress their ecological concerns in their national pavilion and launched an appeal to the public's awareness of modern age dangers to the water reserves.

Mark Schueremans designed this arrangement. He was responsible for the complete audiovisual installation and programming of the Portuguese Pavilion.
The show started in room 1, where the audience completed a set of multiple-choice questions about ecology, on 20 PCs. A video image of the people was grabbed and stored in a database. These grabs would be used in the third part of the show, where the visitors watched a video movie about nature and pollution, which ended with their own images.
Room 2 brought to life an archaeological expedition under water, presented in a circular projection with a diameter of 12 m.
