TalkCity – 2022

The students worked on creating a typographic 3D environment in a web browser. Using the words extracted from a dialogue, a sequence is illustrated in a synchronised way on two screens.

mr. Robot

In this dialogue from the series “Mr Robot”, the words spoken by each of the characters scroll and then gradually accumulate on the screen of the other speaker.

Playground

This project illustrates the song “Alphabet Boy” from two perspectives: being tall and being tiny. Following one or the other angle, the viewer discovers the landscape created by the words.

Marriage Story

A heated dialogue between a couple from the movie “Marriage story” is illustrated. Each of the towers represents the words spoken and will be progressively destroyed as the exchanges continue.

Growing city

This project comically illustrates a dialogue between two voices who discover that a building is created with each word spoken.
 

By Julie Turin and Charlotte Pralong


Interstellar

Based on a dialogue from the movie “Interstellar”, this group worked on 3 smartphone screens. A matrix allows to make a transition between the different letters of the pronounced words.

ECAL Light House

with Jean-Vincent Simonet, Léonard Guyot, Florian Pittet (Sigmasix), Vincent Jacquier, Julien Gurtner

During a week of collaborative work, first-year students in the Visual Communication department at ECAL were given the ambitious task of creating a complete audiovisual experience, designing a light and sound architecture based solely on five original musical compositions. Using a central totem-like screen installation and projections on the surrounding walls, enhanced with lasers, they created a visual environment, broadcast in real time, which was presented as a performance to the public at the end of the week. The aim was to construct a universe capable of fully utilizing the space and the various stage elements, inviting the audience to move around and experience the live performance in its entirety. Five cross-functional creative groups, each with a different sound base, were supervised by Jean-Vincent Simonet and Léonard Guyot to produce images and test them throughout the week on the device, which was developed, set up and operated by a sixth group under the supervision of Florian Pittet, Matthieu Minguet and Achille Masson.

Enshittification - 2026

with Tibor Udvari

Many platforms degrade over time, shifting from useful tools into manipulative systems. In this workshop, we explore enshittification as a creative method by modifying existing websites or developing small web experiments that exaggerate friction, automation, overload, and disorientation in order to reveal the underlying logics.

Talk to me – 2026

with Alain Bellet

By combining code, electronics, and physical prototyping, first-year students design interactive objects that react, respond, and invite interaction, gathered under the title Talk To Me. Using dialogue as playground and inspired by conversational interfaces, the projects transform physical objects into new forms of interaction.
