Steve Bouillant – Re:soil

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Steve Bouillant – Re:soil

by Steve Bouillant

The smartphone has turned a trip to the mountains into an exercise in documentation. We take photos, tag our location, and post them: the natural world becomes content before it becomes a moment of reconnection. Re:soil offers a compact outdoor device whose sensors continuously measure humidity, light, and the transitions between environments. Its probe, planted in the ground, measures the earth's heat and compares it to that of the user's hand. Its microphone captures the soundscape of the location. Re:soil conveys these connections through vibration and light, without a screen, without performance, and without a phone. Upon the user's return, a linked app generates an ephemeral journal blending sensory interpretations, the geology of the site, and likely flora and fauna.

Ecal X Helinox : Polaris

BA INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Ecal X Helinox : Polaris

with Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Julie Richoz

Long before modern equipment, there was a single star travelers looked to when the ground gave no clues, steady above the horizon, marking north through even the darkest nights. In collaboration with Helinox, the Korean brand specialising in ultra-lightweight and compact furniture, ECAL Bachelor Industrial Design students, under the guidance of designer Julie Richoz, have designed ingenious, foldable and portable lights. Made for the outdoors, yet naturally at home anywhere.  

Laurine Gigandet – CLAWS

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Laurine Gigandet – CLAWS

by Laurine Gigandet

CLAWS is a collection of interactive accessories designed for a connected community. Worn on the fingertips, these devices enable users to assert their presence and engage with their surroundings on their own terms. Blurring the line between prosthetics and augmented nail art, the project explores how bodily ornamentation can transform the body into an interface with the physical, digital, and social worlds. Each CLAW is customizable : textures, colors, and patterns become symbols of identity and belonging. Inspired by Afrofuturist visions, the project centers on the concept of "digital marronage" through fugitive, self-organizing technologies. CLAWS acts as a political and cultural extension that resists the standardization of mainstream contemporary technology.

Diane Thouvenin – Sun Connection

BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN

Diane Thouvenin – Sun Connection

with Alain Bellet, Christophe Guignard, Gaël Hugo, Laura Nieder, Pauline Saglio

What time is it at Hortense’s in Montreal? What’s the weather like at Alexandre’s in Tokyo? When I communicate with my loved ones, scattered all over the world, I am disconnected from my physical time-space. Sources of constant artificial light and windows on the digital world, screens replace the sun as a space-time reference point. Sun Connection enables you to reconnect with your loved ones through a delocalised sun. Everyone is free to use their own physical and digital space with a luminous and colourful presence, to transpose themselves into another time and space.
