Sylvain Meltz – Mecadro

Sylvain Meltz – Mecadro

by Sylvain Meltz

Mecadro is a construction game available on computer and online (sylvainmeltz.com/mecadro), that allows you to create a “machine“ based on simple mathematical and geometric principles (translations, rotations, trigonometry…) to product complex drawings. The game introduces the user to programming through a graphic interface: he has to experiment, think in a certain way, observe and contemplate a more or less expected result. During my 4 years at ECAL, the hidden beauty of mathematics and geometry has been one of the most interesting discoveries: with a simple formula, a point can become a moving, independent and complex object. Programming took a significant part in my studies and introduced me to a certain reasoning and creative “behaviour” : to experiment, to research, to alter… Sylvain Meltz

Julie Turin – Star's Bags - The Tree Bag

by Julie Turin

Assembly line work and online orders have become the norm, even in craftsmanship. The Star's Bags app is a seamstress's response to this trend, offering an immersive shopping experience to highlight manual labor before the customer receives their bag. "The Tree Bag" is the first collection from this app, which can expand into other themes. Through this experience, the customer participates in every step of the bag's creation over several days: gathering materials, placing patterns, cutting, sewing, pinning, addressing, and shipping. By following this process, the customer appreciates the effort involved and retains a special memory of their purchase, enhancing the value of the product received.

Olivia Capol – How Do They Know ?

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

We all use ChatGPT. But why? Perhaps because it seems to have an answer to everything. How Do They Know ? is an interactive experience that invites us to follow the path of each question we ask an AI, from the moment it enters the system until a truth is delivered to us. Three guides are available to take us to the heart of language model mechanisms. Their points of view, sometimes opposing, intersect and contradict each other. What if the way algorithms respond to us influences what we believe? Behind each exchange lies our relationship to human knowledge, what we expect from machines, what they learn from us, and what we decide to believe.

BA GRAPHIC DESIGN

Paul Paturel – Modulat – 2025 #2

by Paul Paturel

Grime Index is an interactive VJ-ing project that centralizes, visualizes, and enables navigation through iconic moments of grime — a chaotic genre born on London’s pirate airwaves. By turning audio data into visual identity and live signage, the project makes a performance-based, oral, and improvised culture more readable. Designed for both newcomers and longtime fans, it is built around three interchangeable modules — MC, instrumental, and lyrics — honoring the culture of sampling, MCing, and mixing. Diarization, transcription, dynamic typography, and real-time effects combine to reveal grime’s living and navigable memory.

Pietro Alberti – Beyond Fields

with Alain Bellet, Cyril Diagne, Christophe Guignard, Gaël Hugo

Beyond Fields is a plateform independent puzzle game composed of three chapters each inspired by the fundamental interactions of nature. Throughout the game the player pass through different levels during which he has the opportunity to interact with various graphical elements that will allow him to rebalance the force fields and to solve the level. Thanks to a system of filters, it is possible to travel through different representations of the game - graphical, analytical or mathematical - thus allowing the player to have a global vision of the forces that are exerted between the graphical elements.
