The quest to communicate over distances has stimulated human inventiveness countless times throughout history.

To overcome the limitations of time and space, we resorted to smoke signals, carrier pigeons, telegraphs, telephones, and other solutions. But none of these solutions brought as much agility and freedom as the cell phone. The technology that transformed the way we access, share, and produce information turns 50 this year. We celebrate the date by presenting the public with an immersive experience in the history, impacts, and transformations that the cell phone has caused, is causing, and will cause in society.

The exhibition's narrative spans immersive sections, provoking reflection on Mobility and Freedom, Popularization and Individualization, Multiplicity, Excess and the Labyrinth of Possibilities. In each section, the public will delve into experiences that marked the generations of mobile devices and their respective impacts, with a final invitation to reflect on what is yet to come.

Spectators will also have the opportunity to see an original prototype of the DynaTAC 8000x, the first cell phone, created by American engineer Martin Cooper. The historic model was provided by Dyna LLC, the company of the inventor and popularly known as the “father of the cell phone”.
