The occasion is the 75th anniversary of the Basic Law. Questions about artistic freedom, the freedom of personal decisions, and the consequences of Artificial Intelligence for freedom will be addressed.

According to the organizers, visitors to the ship can become "brain researchers" and test how free their decisions are. They will learn how genetic and social factors influence their actions.
