The misunderstandings about antibiotic resistance are widely spread and a great amount of incorrect information is circulating. Through repeated overuse this small but powerful pill created a crisis. Approximately 90% of the data our brains process is derived from what we see with our eyes. Aesthetically appealing news combined with misunderstandings are quickly and easily consumed like a pill. It is time to understand the importance of getting the facts right.
The 85x120cm pill map is made of ingraved and laser cut mdf. The front displays eight pills with synced screens which shows eight different facts about antibiotic resistance. If you take your time to read the back of the pill map, you will find out that the animated information displayed on the front is misinformation.
