Fluxxlab was asked to present the Revolution Door prototype during this exhibition as well as design the general exhibition space, which included works from such influential artists as Natalie Jeremijenko, Rebecca Bray and Britta Riley. The scheme employs a grand central "green" for events and gatherings with exhibiting artists on the periphery. The green was an artificial turf field made from the remnants of a nearby play field under construction. Visitors were shown that reused turf could be more sustainable than grass since it does not require water, fertilizer, or mowing, and has exceptional durability. Hand crank flashlights were given to visitors to cut energy consumption for exhibition lighting, and provide a fun way in which people could interact with the space and understand their energy use. Fluxxlab also proposed a signage system that incorporated sustainable icons to help guide visitors through the exhibition space by graphically indicating a projects’ environmental focus.

"What does it mean to think "green"? Eyebeam’s expansive new exhibition, Feedback, surveys artists, designers, architects and engineers on the topic of sustainability, and presents their responses — 19 projects varying from public art projects and industrial design to DIY energy solutions and software tools—to inspire discussion and action on this pervasive (and increasingly commoditized) subject...Free, artist-run workshops are integral to the exhibition’s design and are scheduled Saturdays throughout the show’s duration... Numerous projects in the exhibition address energy consumption, production and harvesting: A visitor enters the exhibition through Fluxxlab’s Revolution Door, a modified revolving door that harnesses and redistributes human energy."
