[hemmerling] The World Exposition EXPO2000 in Hannover, Germany - The Canadian Pavillion

The first show is about the four seasons of nature in Canada, visualized by different colors, videos and lights. Under the feets of the visitors, there is a “river” made of video displays, with different colors and patterns for each season.

The main show uses videos, supported by impressive water and light effect, to explain the different facilities of living and working in Canada. The show room is a circlular. In the mid at the top of the room, there is a big circular video screen, surrounded by some similar, but smaller circular video screens. At the ground, there is a water basin with a fountain installation. This photo is not of perfect quality. How about visiting the show by yourself, to get a perfect impression ?

The third part of the Canadian Pavillion is a traditional exhibition, including a monument against weapons (a massive block just made just of weapons) and some transport vehicles ( a snowcat, a pneumatic boat ).

This is the fair stall of The Digital Group of Telehealth Companies, which sponsored my full-day trip to the EXPO2000 in Hannover, Germany. It presents a remote communication system between a medical center and a remote patient: Visual and audio contact can be established, medical data of the patient may be recorded and transfered to the medical center. A good starting point for a discussion, with focus on the motto of the EXPO2000 “Humankind - Nature - Technology”: Will this be the future, for all the people of the world ? And would this be useful and good ? Think about it and make up your mind by yourselfes, Dear visitors !
