RE-STRUCTURE

RE-STRUCTURE

During this one-week workshop, Master Digital Experience Design students used machine learning tools to decompose music videos into their constituent parts: segmented scenes, detected gestures, extracted colors, analyzed beats, separated audio stems, transforming linear audiovisual artifacts into structured datasets. These components were then reimagined as interactive, non-linear systems: explorable maps, generative timelines, rhythm-driven interfaces, and self-recomposing structures built with the OPENRNDR framework.

EPLE

 

This project is an interactive data visualization installation about the videoclip Röyksopp - Eple. It is divided in three experimentations, with sound, objects, and images. It is inspired by the looping effect inside of the music, and the videoclip.

AROUND THE WORLD

 

Inspired by the hypnotic repetition of Around the World, this project invites users to look closer, to move beyond the surface of the music and into the geometry beneath it.

Each group of dancers in the clip is not merely performing. They are embodying an instrument, a frequency, a voice in the composition. By observing their patterns, their spacing, their motion, this data visualisation peels back the layers of an image we thought we already knew. Like a score made visible, the movements become data points, and the data points become meaning. The circle, omnipresent and deliberate, serves as both structure and symbol. It is the loop of the song, the orbit of the dancers, the shape of repetition itself. Through this visualisation, we trace its role not as decoration but as the underlying logic of the entire piece. This project is a metaphor for attentive watching. It turns passive listening into active excavation, uncovering what choreography, composition and visual rhythm reveal when studied together, layer by layer.

Sledgehammer

 

The final result of this workshop is a visual project that transforms linear data into a clear and engaging visual composition. By applying different techniques learned during the workshop, we explored how raw data can be organized, structured, and represented visually. The project focuses on making complex information easier to understand through generative design, visual mapping, and experimentation with form, movement, randomness and layout. Overall, the outcome shows how data can be turned into a meaningful and visually interesting representation.

BA GRAPHIC DESIGN

Emilie Müller – Librarynth

by Emilie Müller

It is good to believe that the library is resilient. Not as a relic of the past, but as a presence that reinvents itself, oscillating between the tangible and the intangible. It's not a question of denying the digital, nor of clinging to our yellowed pages. But to understand that if we accept the library as a moving space, an organism that mutates with the times, then its future may not be so bleak. My diploma is a non-linear immersive library, conceived as a virtual house. Each piece evokes one of six themes from the Jan Michalski Foundation's Varia collection. In the form of a web interface, the project celebrates the serendipity inherent in physical libraries, while questioning how digital technology can translate the book experience.

Elena Biasi – Magnetic Fragments

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

Before the rise of digital technology and social networks, everyday moments were captured on analog media and watched with family in one uninterrupted flow. These long VHS tapes, composed of successive sequences, gradually disappeared, victims of their obsolescence. Magnetic Fragments offers a way to rediscover these forgotten memories through a three-dimensional web interface, where each bubble represents a memory to explore and comment on. Designed for a private circle, the collaborative platform allows free navigation, revisiting each memory fragments in a dynamic way and breaking with the monotonous structure of past viewings. Magnetic Fragments thus becomes a space for intergenerational transmission, where the past is shared in the present.
LET THE DATASET CHANGE YOUR MINDSET

LET THE DATASET CHANGE YOUR MINDSET

by Thomas Gaudin, Olivia Capol, Livia Schmid, Emilie Maier

This project revolves around a fully functional data visualization experience and graphical interface, designed and programmed by second-year Bachelor students in Media & Interaction Design as part of a course taught by Gaël Hugo. This exercise begins with the following reflection: "Fun" datasets concern topics that are of personal interest, and can be used to answer unexpected questions and explore relationships that aren’t immediately intuitive. Perhaps you start with a question or hypothesis, and then find a dataset to prove (or disprove) your theory. Or, you might even generate your own dataset using web scraping techniques or an open API. In fact, creating your own dataset enables you to collect, label, and prepare a clean dataset. - Kindra Coope

Viktor Gagné – Serialized Saplings

by Viktor Gagné

The weight of materials produced by humans is now believed to exceed that of all terrestrial biomass. How will these artifacts integrate into the rest of the environment in a million years? Serialized Saplings is an interactive installation that speculates on a potential form of vegetation to come, heavily altered by the excesses of human production, here crystallized through the symbol of the electrical outlet. By manipulating the connections of several power strips, the participant is invited to program the "genetic code" of hybrid plant species that do not yet exist and whose appearance resembles our industrial standards. This generated vegetation is then classified in the form of a digital herbarium that can be consulted and studied.

LET THE DATASET CHANGE YOUR MINDSET - 2025

by Steve Bouillant, Teo Grajqevci, Yann Müller

Data has the power to reshape the way we interpret the world. Starting from a simple question or hypothesis, this project explores how visualization can reveal patterns that are not immediately visible. The result is a fully functional data visualization experience with an interactive interface, including a mobile controller that allows users to manipulate the display in real time. Designed and programmed by second-year Bachelor students in Media & Interaction Design as part of a course taught by Gaël Hugo, the project demonstrates how interactive visualization can make complex data more accessible and engaging.
