Hold down the SHIFT key once, and small becomes big. Or more precisely: small becomes SMALL. The content of the word is still the same, but its shape has changed. Is that possible – to change the shape without touching the meaning, the content? How can shifts succeed that cannot be triggered at the push of a button? With SHIFT, the fourth edition of the Design Biennale Zürich is dedicated to small and large changes, for the first time as part of the Zurich Design Weeks.

Hold down the SHIFT key once, and small becomes big. Or more precisely: small becomes SMALL. The content of the word is still the same, but its shape has changed. Is that possible – to change the shape without touching the meaning, the content? How can shifts succeed that cannot be triggered at the push of a button? With SHIFT, the fourth edition of the Design Biennale Zürich is dedicated to small and large changes, for the first time as part of the Zurich Design Weeks.

Fifteen installations make SHIFT their subject: upcycling, data-design, digital plants- and animal worlds, scent installation or virtual reality. In the exhibition, design can be experienced up close.
