Questioning your happiness and indeed, what it means to be happy. The exhibition features various installations, interactive artworks, large typographical displays and more. Sagmeister also used interactivity such as; the installation where the viewer rides a bike and with the energy that is produced by the bike, a typographic installation lights up and shows various messages. The floor surface used for the exhibit looks like it is a grey concrete floor, which gives it an industrial look. Sagmeister also uses various different objects to portray his work such as an elevator, stairs, sticky notes stuck onto walls, etc.
