Going Viral

From giggles to germs and from consumer trends to fake news dissemination, contagion is all around us. Today, even an idea or a behavior can go viral. 

Going Viral tackles the broad topic of contagion, drawing on scientific fields such as epidemiology and public health, network science, psychology and social sciences. Its 24 exhibits, divided into five areas, encourage dialogue and reflection on how viral phenomena influence health, culture, political movements, trends, norms, and ultimately, us. 

More than just an exhibition, Going Viral is a positive, fun and… contagious experience!

This exhibition was created by the Pavilion of Knowledge – Centro Ciência Viva in collaboration with the Cité des Sciences et de L’Industrie in Paris, and Heureka in Helsinki.
