Guillaume Besson – Beyond the Matrix

This project is a documentation and analysis of surveillance equipment in contemporary society, using the airport as a metaphorical object.

Diploma project (2021) by Guillaume Besson

Know-how
Documentary, Editorial

Mixing a scientific and experimental tone with a touch of science-fiction, the book focuses on the flow and profiling of individuals to assert, through authors’ texts, that the use of these different layers of surveillance is creating a new form of hegemonic society.

To this end, the different sections that make up the book explore the way in which machines decipher our identities and the place we occupy in our architecture. The layouts are a dense proposition creating an anxiety-inducing atmosphere.

Genius Loci - Spirit of the place

Genius Loci - Spirit of the place

with Nicole Udry

Genius Loci, or the spirit of the place, refers to the unique identity or essence of a location. In architecture, this principle suggests that the specific characteristics of a place should be reflected and extended in a design. In the case of the second-year graphic design students, they have applied this principle to communication projects focused on promoting or extending the identity of a particular place through design. Their work likely explores how to visually capture and communicate the essence of a space, using graphic design elements that resonate with the architectural features or history of the place.
Adeline Vermot – Victimes vs Héros

Adeline Vermot – Victimes vs Héros

by Adeline Vermot

This project is an analysis of gender representation in contemporary popular cinema. The choice of films was based on the ones that were the most successful at the box office. I was interested to see the messages they conveyed, as they had been seen by a large number of people. The choice was also based on French cinema since Hollywood has already dealt with these issues a lot. To do this, a system was established to compare the six films with each other as well as the situation of men and women. The content is in the form of images and dialogues from these films and is supplemented with infographics and texts. The result shows how strong stereotypes still are and that being aware of them is a first step towards deconstructing them.  
Mara Wohlfahrt – Algae in posterum

Mara Wohlfahrt – Algae in posterum

by Mara Wohlfahrt

Algae represent our past, our present and our future. They are at the origin of life on Earth and supply us with 70% of our oxygen. They are capable of transforming and thus replacing most of the products that represent a threat to the survival of our planet, such as plastics, fabrics and fuels. Atelier LUMA, a design and research laboratory based in Arles, is looking for ways to transform algae into a material that can be used in the field of creation. Since algae is still considered insignificant and sometimes even repulsive, the Algae in posterum project hopes, through collaboration with Atelier LUMA, to enhance this almost alchemical, even magical dimension of algae for the future of the creative field.
