As part of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the canton of Vaud has commissioned ECAL to create an original work of art, on view from July 24 to September 8 in the Maison suisse set up for the occasion in the courtyard of the Swiss Embassy in Paris.
Collaboration, Transversal project (2024) with Julien Gurtner, Vincent Jacquier, Matthieu Minguet, Anthony Guex
Comprising some twenty synchronized screens offering a panoramic view of the canton and its major assets, Vaud-o-rama aims to promote the region and forge links with the public, helping them to discover its richness and diversity.
Inspired by the diorama museal device, this installation offers a dynamic and immersive showcase for the canton of Vaud, highlighting four key areas: Innovation, Education, Culture and Sport. It presents a varied portrait of the canton and offers a current view of its activities. In this way, the canton of Vaud reveals itself as a center of excellence for research and innovation, a cutting-edge learning ground, a mecca for cultural creation and a sports ecosystem that is unique in the world.
Images and text come alive and intermingle in a meticulously orchestrated choreography. International sporting events, the headquarters of major federations, prestigious cultural institutions, renowned universities and colleges, top-level scientific and technical research centers - these are the strengths that the canton brings to the stage and into the spotlight in this creation.
Initiated during an experimental workshop with students to generate initial graphic intentions, the project was then developed within ECAL's Visual Communication department in collaboration with ECAL's Technology Center.

MAS DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP
by Nathanaël Baby
Art and design meet to highlight the research aspect. This fictitious exhibition takes viewers through the work of MAS Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship students. The passe-partout is an in-between object that creates space around a work of art. It gives its name to the exhibition and inspires a series of display stands, specific to each sample.

Twist was thought out as part of the upcoming industrial design exhibition at mudac - Musée cantonal de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains. The aim of this project is to engage children’s curiosity about design, for whom the idea of visiting a museum is often not the most exciting. How can we encourage a stimulating visit and discovery of the exhibits? By bringing out an object from the exhibition, the Bold chair by Big-Game studio, this project transforms it into an interactive installation. Guided by a character on screen, children are invited to interact with certain parts of the chair: sitting, pinching, turning, etc. These interactions trigger games, and information is presented in a playful way, thus creating a direct and memorable relationship with the object and raising awareness of design.

During the service design course, the 3rd year of the Graphic Design, Photography and Media & Interaction Design bachelor's degree programs realized multi-media projects. A collaboration of the Visual Communication department with the theme of SDGs (*Sustainable Development Goals). The theme named "For a good cause, make the SDGS a reality" aims to develop a cause close to the heart of the different student groups. Each project is composed of at least two different supports, one primary and one secondary. The projects could therefore take any form the students deemed relevant, be it a website, editions and posters, a video sequence, or even virtual reality.
