Mental Travel Agency – Dutch title: Mentaal Reisburo

We were working for the “Over het IJ festival” to make an experience in a container. The Mental Travel Agency was born. It is a fictional company that works between entertainment and pshychology. The idea was to reinterpret the process of a personality test.

The theme of the festival was time. Through our development process we found out that people usally have one of 3 mind sets; past, present and future. Through the test the participant discovers in what mind set he or she is least active in. Then we let the participant do a small activity to focus on the mind set that came out of the results of the test.

The test questions were answered by sticking colored stickers on the outside of the container. The result was experienced on the inside of the container.
