A Third Hand – Creative Applications for Robotics

with Alain Bellet, Andrea Anner, Thibault Brevet, Martin Hertig

Robotic arms have long been a common sight in many industries. They are currently making a rapid entry into art and design studios and practices. Yet, at the same time, difficulties remain in accessing the workflows and work methods demanded by these machines given a clear lack of reference resources suited for this community. The same applies to Art and Design schools, which are increasingly investing in this type of equipment, often without having the resources to run it. This research project uses applied case studies to explore and define a set of exemplary work methods, capable of both informing and inspiring future users.

with Alain Bellet, Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard

CHIC (China Hardware Innovation Camp) is a program led by EPFL, in collaboration with HEC - Lausanne and ECAL. In interdisciplinary teams, students from different institutions have 9 months to create a prototype of a connected object. The final phase of the program takes students to Shenzhen and then Hong Kong to confront the challenges of industrialization, financing and the realities of the Chinese market.

Playground

with Damian Fopp

For this project, the students were asked to design a playground, by developing a coherent family of play elements or structures for a specific site existing in the Lausanne region. The students had to research, identify, select, analyze and document a site so that it would blend harmoniously into the local urban environment.

Galerie des Bustes

with Adrien Rovero

The Festival Images is a free event focused on contemporary images. The specificity of the Festival Images is to present monumental photography in the open air, while presenting projects around the image in a broader sense indoors. For the 2018 edition, ECAL was for the fourth time associated with the festival by pursuing the search for specific devices for outdoor image exhibitions. It is a question of imagining a photo booth. A space to take pictures of yourself alone or with others. The initiation, the fund, the global process will have to take the form of a real experience and interactivity. It is necessary to invent a device that is close to the installation, that is playful and that does not only provide a technical solution to the shooting. For the festival, this installation represents a real expectation of the audience as well as an income since each image costs 5.- Chf.
