7 TYPES OF AMBIGUITY — A PARADE by Arto Lindsay,05–25.05.2022,Cinema Studio, ECAL Arto Lindsay is an American artist, guitarist, singer and composer living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A genius of noise with collaboration as his main method, he has been working since the early 2000s on the carnival parade as a gigantic musical instrument. No one can predict in advance what will come out of it, with its mixture of unity and partiality, euphoria and frustration, performance art and celebration. The installation presented at the ECAL proposes an original development of his previous street parades. With a group of musicians from the bloco Afros of Salvador de Bahia, students in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program and programmer Stefan Brunner, Lindsay overturns his own conventions of the parade: inside the ECAL s Studio Cinema, the public can walk through a spiral of loudspeakers broadcasting both the realistic recordings of the percussionists and their thousand distant, confused, probable reflections. Opening 04.05.22, 6-8pm Dates 05.05-25.05.22 Free access Opening hours Tuesday to Friday, 16h-19h Or by appointment : 7types@ecal.ch Location ECAL – Cinema Studio Av. du Temple 5, 1020 Renens www.visioncreationnewsound.ch In the framework of the research project Phantom Power conducted at the ECAL and with the support of the Réseau de Compétences Design & Arts Visuels de la HES-SO.

Histories and Figures of Youth Monday 28 March 2022 9am - 5pm IKEA Auditorium HOW SOON IS NOW? HISTORIES AND FIGURES OF YOUTH This symposium is the first stage of the research project How Soon Is Now? Histories and Figures of Youth. It questions “youth” as a conceptual, aesthetic, and political figure born with modernity in the visual arts, popular culture, and the humanities. At the same time, this project proposes to examine the implications of the problematic category of “youth” in contemporary art and thought. By exploring the processes in which youth is constituted through its forms of representation, this project intends to render intelligible the aesthetic and political dimensions of youth, and to grasp it as a historical allegory allowing for a reconsideration of the contemporary in the light of its most lively site. 9am Welcome coffee 9.30am Welcome, Stéphanie Moisdon Introduction, Philippe Azoury and Vincent Normand 10am Representing Youth / Experiencing It.

HOW SOON IS NOW? HISTORIES AND FIGURES OF YOUTH Symposium : HOW SOON IS NOW? HISTORIES AND FIGURES OF YOUTH This symposium is the first stage of the research project How Soon Is Now? Histories and Figures of Youth. It questions “youth” as a conceptual, aesthetic, andpolitical figure born with modernity in the visual arts, popular culture, and the humanities. At the same time, this project proposes to examine the implications ofthe problematic category of "youth" in contemporary art and thought. By exploring the processes in which youth is constituted through its forms of representation, thisproject intends to render intelligible the aesthetic and political dimensions of youth, and to grasp it as a historical allegory allowing for a reconsideration of thecontemporary in the light of its most lively site. What image(s) does the notion of youth carry with it? What idea does it have of itself? How can we talk about it beyond ingrained ideas and the fantasies that society projects on it (at least in Western culture), making it simultaneously a force, a market, an age, a culture, a piece of a history which which we only began writing inthe twentieth-century, and which today has reached its critical stage? In recent history, the notion of youth has so often been conflated with “bringing down the house” that we now expect everything from it: to reinvent us, to shake us up, to carry us, to succeed in what others have failed at (establishing the most open communities possible), to build bridges for the future, to be radical, to be uncompromising where anyone outside of youth has already given up, to be desirable where others are overwhelmed. But with what means? If not those that young people make themselves, for themselves, with elements that they alone will have chosen? With their culture, their places, their clandestinity. Because that which is not yet over happens in the shadows of the world. Youth is a secret. “How Soon Is Now?”, The Smiths once asked.

A Historical Perspective The representations, discourses and other obsessions about "youth" often say less about young people than about the authorities that forge them: politicians, institutions, media, artists... In themselves, these representations are interesting: they express anxieties, doubts and hopes, but also strong opinions, sometimes peremptory visions that often translate fantasies. In such a landscape, cinema in particular is an excellent medium when it projects its lights and cameras on youth. It is these ways of telling the story of youth that this presentation addresses. But it does not stop there. For beyond the representations, what remains the most fascinating are the modalities of socialization that young people know and come across, in all their diversity. In this sense, this presentation will also question the relationship to time, historicity as an awareness of taking part in history and situating oneself in it, age identities, and generational belonging. Agnès Gayraud "Will You Love Me When I m Sixty Four?" Pop Music as an Art of Ages Folklore has long been interpreted as the "childhood of art", a form of expression invented by popular classes and considered as the living vestige of humanity s childhood. From its outset, recorded folk music has been appreciated as a form of "primaverism", the conviction that things in their prime are the most valuable, that authenticity stems not only from the origin but from the beginning. A recording fixes individual voices and their organic idiosyncrasies at the moment of their expression, and in so doing, it captures the aura of a primitive past. The fixed expressivity of recorded voices represents countless individual incarnations, and this has made pop music the most powerful musical art form to bear witness to all ages of life, not just childhood or youth. Rather than associating pop music with a particular stage of life, with a phase of inexperience (innocence, naivety, regression or youth), it is tempting to question its rooting in the expression of ages in general. Contemporary musicians such as Angèle, Oklou, and Arca accurately represent post-adolescence, sexual maturity, and the pleasure of finally flirting with the pornographic category of "adult" content, all while reflecting on youthism, contemporary ageism, and sexist domination. Here, individual embodiment takes as its theme its own situated expression. In contrast to these younger artists, Bob Dylan sang later in his life,"It s not dark yet but it s getting there". This priority given to the expression of individuality at various ages (one s body, one s sexuality, one s race, which make sense only by situating a generation in terms of someone s legal and physiological age), is what binds deeply popular recorded music to what the history of western musical art has at some point thought to have overcome during the 20th century: the romantic confidence in situated individualities, in particular incarnations, in singularities. In the contemporary artistic field, reflexive forms of art only recognize their historical age. Individual age is not a key to understanding the content of their gesture, one deciphers it rather in light of their epoch. Popular music, to the contrary, presents itself as a musical art powerfully carried by the expressiveness of the ages, even if it means sometimes to render eternal a youth whose legal status as such proceeds from the whole liberal system. Persis Bekkering The Rave Continuum. Researching Plot and Politics of "Europe s Last Youth Culture" As much as any experience fails to be adequately grasped by language, the experience of the rave presents the storyteller with a specific, intriguing challenge. As the narrator in Rainald Goetz experimental novel Rave (1998) remembers: "It was the wordless time, when we were always looking around with our big eyes so strangely in every possible situation, shaking our heads, and could almost never say anything but: speechless – pf –" The rave, at its best, is a wordless suspension of time; a limit experience; an event blurring linear understandings of time and space, proposing its own logic. As music theorist Simon Reynolds once quoted the (unbelievably perfect) shouts of an MC at a hardcore party: We ve lost the plot . What does this mean if one tries to translate the rave into narrative? How to grasp its thwarted, warped, halted temporality? For her last novel Exces, part of which is published in English as the novella Last Utopia, writer Persis Bekkering has attempted to find an answer to these problems. The questions of narrative structure and temporality of the rave may look like purely formal ones, but they are closely tied to bigger, historical or even philosophical questions: how to understand the rave and the emergence of rave culture, at the end of the 1980s, in its time? Why did it emerge at that peculiar historical moment, when the end of history and telos of progress was famously declared, utopian ideologies lost their claim, and capitalism entered a new phase? And what did the rave propose to it: resistance or acceleration? Maybe both? In her presentation, Bekkering takes us through a meandering journey along her ongoing artistic and literary research, sharing images, texts, fragments and shouts in the dark, from her archive. Throughout the various parts and fragments, one can hear the constant drone of the search for the aesthetic expression of the permanent presence of crisis in our time. Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel About Bébé Colère Screening of the film followed by a round table discussion. For more than ten years now, Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel have been weaving together a body of work that has no equivalent within French cinema. Whether through their first feature film Jessica forever (2018), or through their numerous short and medium-length films, (Martin pleure, 2017; Notre héritage, 2015; or Tant qu il nous restera des fusils à pompe, 2014, which won the Golden Bear at the 2014 Berlin International Film Festival), they follow the destiny of their own generation (they are both less than 35 years old). This is a generation which feeds on heroism through the virtual, a generation that met porn before love and online violence before friendship, a generation for which the video game is its lost paradise. Yet they draw from it, and this is their strength, a form of romanticism, which never wants to believe in the end of emotions. Their lyricism is unprecedented because it comes after: after the images, after the clichés, after the disillusionment, after they have been told that “no, really, sorry, there is nothing left to expect from anything, everything has been played out”. In the spring of 2020, when the earth had just come to a halt due to the Covid pandemic, Jonathan and Caroline retreated to Corsica where they dreamed of an unseen body that escaped from a video game: Bébé Colère [Baby Anger]. Bébé Colère denies his parents, Bébé Colère has no friends, Bébé Colère vomits the world and feeds on emptiness. In 13 minutes, Bébé Colère is an irreducible work that paints a portrait of a 2.0 youth caught in disarray. A post-human body, which has denied its origins and only sees the future through the features of an avatar. Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel will discuss the possibility of romanticism today, and the conditions that allow them to invent new characters, generating their own disordered chronology. They will also talk about their aesthetic relationship with video games: the baby in Bébé Colère is a pre-programmed asset purchased online to be animated and then integrated into the film. In close collaboration with Lucien Krampf, they are also currently developing a project conceived inside a game engine. In their work, they consider the game as a new narrative track while also using pre-existing elements. The conversation will take place in French. — Ludivine Bantigny is a historian, teacher and researcher attached to the Laboratory of History of the University of Rouen-Normandy.

What s The Prompt? During a week workshop given by Cyril Diagne, second year students explored the integration of machine learning tools in their creative process. By limiting the coding step in favour of using the concept of Prompt they experimented with Diffusion Models such as GPT3, Clip or DALL-E to create texts, images and videos. Comparing the way our brain seems to make our dreams and the way some AI models work, Elina Crespi used some Diffusion Model to represent her dreams.

By Elina Crespi LAMINAR SPACES After Midnight shows what the minutes, hours, days, months and years after the end of the world might look like. In 2021, the “Doomsay Clock” in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists shows that we are 100 seconds away from a possible end of the world on a 24-hour scale. Arthur Lucchesi imagined what the end of the world might look like after that time. By Arthur Lucchesi Rebirth By working hand in hand with several AIs (for the visuals, the music, the voice-over and the subtitles), Adryan Barilliet created a new mythology narrating the creation of a world after the fusion between divine and machine. By Adryan Barilliet THE Utopian City Tickie created a dialogue with the AI to ask it what a utopian city would be like. She collected the conversations and images and archived them into a website. By Tickie Bindner Au pied de la lettre Niki created an interactive quiz in which the user must find the French expression represented by the images. By Niki Zaal Explorations Jeanne used machine learning to give her access to universes in her favorite books that are poorly documented visually. With text inputs, she explored different environments like the forest, the ocean and the sky to create animated lock screens for smartphones. By Jeanne Weber

Special screening of "Donbass" by Sergei Loznitsa,11.03.2022 The Swiss Cinematheque and the ECAL Film Department invite you to an evening of support for the Ukrainian people on Friday 11th March at 7pm at ECAL. In the presence of Mykyta Kryvosheiev, director, editor, graduate and assistant at ECAL, who will speak after the screening of Sergei Loznitsa s film "Donbass". "Donbass" by Sergei Loznitsa - 121min - 2018 In the Donbass, a region of Eastern Ukraine, a hybrid war takes place, involving an open armed conflict alongside killings and robberies on a mass scale perpetrated by separatist gangs. In the Donbass, war is called peace, propaganda is uttered as truth and hatred is declared to be love. A journey through the Donbass unfolds as a chain of curious adventures, where the grotesque and drama are as intertwined as life and death. This is not a tale of one region, one country or one political system. It is about a world, lost in post-truth and fake identities. It is about each and every one of us. Admission is free, but a contribution to La Chaîne du Bonheur is strongly encouraged, via the attached link as well as via a QR code shown at the beginning and end of the session.

ECAL x Fondation Martin Bodmer - Scripts of the World,24.01–20.03.2022,Fondation Martin Bodmer, Cologny (GE) ECAL / University of Art and Design Lausanne and the Fondation Martin Bodmer have joined forces to celebrate typographic creation and the scripts of the world. ECAL will present original projects in contemporary typography and graphic design, from its Bachelor Graphic Design and Master Type Design programmes, comparing them with Fondation Martin Bodmer s UNESCO listed heritage through a series of lectures, events and workshops on Sunday afternoons on 6 February, 27 February and 20 March 2022. 6 February 2022, 14:00-18:00 The Scripts of Aram: Syriac-Aramaic Typefaces (FR/EN) Registration At the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the Switzerland and Liechtenstein office of the UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, collaborated with the students of the ECAL Master Type Design on a case: the Syriac script. Historically used to transcribe languages over a vast geographical area, Syriac is today mainly used as the liturgical script of Eastern Christians. Speakers of Modern Aramaic languages live in Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, but compose mainly a worldwide diaspora. While only a few digital fonts exist, providing contemporary and innovative typefaces would contribute to broadening the possibilities for the language to thrive, as well as to cultivate community ties. This day proposes to celebrate Syriac writing and Aramaic culture through the collections of the Martin Bodmer Foundation, typography projects of the ECAL and various reflections on writing, its power, its relationship to politics, language and identity.

With this technique, a typeface is digitally redesigned from a historical typeface, or serves as a template from which a new design is developed, more or less faithfully to its source. The success of these digital fonts and their distribution are interesting mechanisms, which will also be discussed, mirroring the long history of typography, reflected in the collections of the Martin Bodmer Foundation.

DNA Second year BA Industrial Design students had to formulate their own brief instead of getting one from their teachers. In the project s introduction, they were assigned the task of introspectively mapping their own design DNA by contemplating the question: What defines my essence as a designer? They introduced a clear brief related to their own fascinations and relevant topics in the field of design and in the time we live in. Then thes students developed a concept for a product from an original idea and artistic vision. The results are expressed in the form of products, pieces of furnitures, accessories, proposing a new vision and a new way of producing. The areas of interest are diverse, spacing from open-source projects to process fascination.
Photographic Editions Starting from the premise that the book constitutes both an alternative practice to the exhibition and an alternative exhibition practice - alternative exhibition practices insofar as the book and the printed word are essentially modes of visibility of art; alternative practices to the exhibition because this means of visibility is very different from what is usually called an exhibition - we consider the book to be the medium that is perfectly suited to soon-to-be-graduated photographers.

VR Sequences 2022 VR Music Video projects created by second-year students in the Bachelor of Media & Interaction Design program. La page blanche Taking inspiration from a 1970s building, a virtual architecture has been created, emphasizing the drawing experience. The viewer becomes immersed in this house where the lines come to life, reimagining an original space. The sketch extends beyond its paper, allowing a hybrid drawing to envelop the viewer. By Elina Crespi and Martino De GrandisIncident "Incident" is an immersive VR project exploring 3D worlds. Inspired by the "Max Headroom incident," where a broadcast was hijacked, the artists aim to recreate the unsettling sensation of losing control over screens. By Paul Dorsaz and Julien CauletVRONIC The sequence introduces VRonique, the main character and guide, in Le Salon . This project marks an early exploration of VR sequences and motion capture, evident in the character s intentional jittery movements and the non-finalized render quality. Created in collaboration with Graphic Designer Thomas Neyroud and Photographer Louis Michel, VRonique offers a glimpse into a future that blurs reality and the virtual world. By Adryan Barilliet
Service Design - 2022 During the Service Design course, the 3rd year of the Graphic Design, Photography and Media & Interaction Design bachelors had to create multi-media projects. A collaboration of the Visual Communication department which had as subject the SDGs (*Sustainable Development Goals). The theme was called "For a good cause, make the SDGs a reality" and its objective was to allow students to develop a cause that is close to their hearts. Each project consists of at least two different media, one primary and one secondary. These projects could take any form that the students deemed relevant, be it a website, editions, posters, a video sequence or virtual reality. 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with more than 169 targets signed by all UN member states for the 2030 Agenda. They reconcile the economic, social and ecological dimensions of sustainable development and place the fight against poverty and sustainable development on the same agenda for the first time. This means that all states are called upon to play an equal role in finding common solutions to the world s pressing challenges. Switzerland is also required to implement the goals at the national level. In addition, incentives must be created to encourage non-governmental actors to make an increasingly active contribution to sustainable development.What are the SDGs?MELTING POINTS Leaflet / poster & website The Melting Points project is initially composed of a series of leaflets with the aim of warning and reporting on the environmental situation of glaciers in Switzerland. Rather than communicating the urgency of the situation, we decided to evoke the mass disappearance of certain glaciers, thus accentuating a process that has already begun and is partly irreversible. This printed dimension of the project serves as a bridge between an ephemeral physical object and a constantly evolving website. The latter is based on the analogy of the obituary, listing the disappeared, threatened and non-threatened glaciers while emphasizing the nostalgia and memory of these places. By Martial Grin , Hugo Le Corre , Basil PérotTHE CORAL RESCUE PROJECT Journal & instagram The coral rescue project deals with issues concerning aquatic life. We decided to look at the extinction of corals, which has accelerated in recent decades. This journal describes 14 solutions to help save them, alone or together. It is foldable and includes illustrations and QR codes to find out more about the cause. The edition is guided by an instagram page of GIFs, which helps us understand and reach out to more people. By Aurore Huberty , Iris Moine , Anaelle Iglesias CarballoESSENCE Edition & instagram The Essence project consists of a series of magazines dealing with subjects that are interested in families of natural products such as mushrooms, algae, fruit skins and many others that have the capacity to become biomaterials. The project is to be understood as a natural, artistic and avant-garde magazine. It includes recipes to make at home, articles, interviews, artworks and workshops as well as various photo pages. By Marion Marquet , Yolane Rais , Loris Briguet DISCOURS DE HAINE en ligne Edition & chrome extension Based on a study conducted by Dr. Lea Stahel at the Institute of Sociology of the University of Zurich in 2020. The Hate speech online edition aims to raise awareness, especially among young people, about the problem of hate speech on the Internet. Based on 8 points, this study deciphers the phenomenon and its problems in Switzerland. The project also includes Rate Hate, a Chrome extension designed to combat hate and hate speech on the Internet. With this application you can evaluate the hate content of a website and modify its content accordingly. The goal of Rate Hate is to transform hate speech into graphic visuals in order to divert and criticize its content. By Achille Masson , Camille Spiller , Raphaël CarruzzoLAISSER DISPARAÎTRE OU FAIRE DISPARAÎTRE Edition, moving poster & VR short film Laisser disparaître ou faire disparaître exposes the conflicts of interest between our desire to preserve the planet and our addiction to comfort. To act for the good of all or to protect one s own interests? In the privileged context inherent to Switzerland, eco-anxiety is soaring and, paradoxically, comfort is gradually reaching its peak. Feelings oscillate between guilt, denial and justification of acts that contribute to the deterioration of our Earth, of the ties that bind us and of our values. Through interviews and surveys, the edition gathers current concerns from subjects of various ages, the vast majority of whom are Swiss. They answer the questions: "What are you afraid of disappearing?" and "What comfort are you not ready to give up? Some systems of thought are developed in order to offer a varied range of opinions. One of them is narrated by a voice-over and a succession of images in a poignant VR experience. Moving posters highlight various issues such as travel, over-consumption and imports. Capturing a world in corrosion, the project is to be understood as the testimony of a concerned society. By , Hydro—Hegemony Website & edition Hydro-Hegemony presents water conflicts from 3000 BC to the 21st century, showing how water is the lifeblood of ecosystems; global environmental changes, especially climate change, further intensify competition between competing uses and users, leading to conflict and war.
