String theory, Quarks and other weird stuff

This was the "FASA" (faculty of applied sciences and arts) final exhibition. The point of it was creating a world based on a chosen keyword with limitation of 2 square meter space but unlimited height and inviting people from all university to come and live our created experience and at the end convey this key word.
"String theory, quarks and other weird stuff" was our chosen theme. Upon research we understood that string theory and quarks were theories stating that the world consists of point like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings, and they way everything is shaped is by those strings vibrating differently.
Going deeper we started understanding about black holes, multivers , parallel universes and the big bang theory and so on. We started to explore the religious view which also had many point of views as well which eventually lead us to complete confusion.
Because of that confusion which lead us to the conclusion that this is exactly what our world is all about confusion and always questioning. our world is shaped by all those different things, many theories and at the end our perception is what shapes them. 
We held on to this "Not Grasping a certain answer" We used the stairways as our space having a very narrow long path mimicking  the illusion of having a dead end within this road the viewer had to experience several chapters ups and downs having strings hung down as they climbed up the stairs, along with integrating touch sense along with other senses. Having a wide variety of material black light foam pockets. black light was hung so they's feel the words floating around, at the end of the path visitors would write down a word describing what this world means to them so others would see afterwards.
