Workshop - Rachel de Joode - 2026 For this workshop, ECAL invited Rachel de Joode, Berlin-based artist whose practice explores the relationship between photography, sculpture, and digital images. During the week, students experimented with transforming photographic images into three-dimensional forms. Starting from simple concepts, they produced or gathered image material intended for printing and treated images as surfaces to cut, fold, layer, and assemble into sculptural objects. Through rapid tests and material experimentation, the workshop encouraged students to move repeatedly between image, surface, object, and documentation. By working with printing, scale, and spatial placement, they explored how photographic images can gain physical presence and occupy space beyond the screen.

GEOFF HAN – WORK AND TURN In November 2025, 27 ECAL students took part in Work and Turn, a workshop led by Geoff Han exploring the theme of labor and the often overlooked work that sustains the school. Located in a former IRIL knitwear factory in the industrial area of Renens, ECAL occupies a vast building whose daily functioning depends on many visible and invisible forms of labor. Over five days, students worked in small teams to produce a collective 96-page pocket-sized publication. Each pair created an 8-page photographic visual essay focusing on a specific aspect of labor at ECAL. Rather than relying on traditional portraits, the projects explored more poetic and indirect ways of documenting traces of work through spaces, gestures, materials, and infrastructures. The entire publication was manually printed on an offset press by the students themselves, in either black or red and black. The printing process was a central part of the workshop: participants prepared the plates, set up the press, and ran the prints. This hands-on production process echoed the theme of labor explored throughout the publication.
Prix Dior 2025 The Art of Color,26.02–27.03.2026,Gallery l elac, ECAL ECAL welcomes the 8th edition of the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents exhibition. Created in 2018 in partnership with LUMA Arles and ENSP Arles, the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents aims to reveal young photographers and/or videographers while fostering an essential dialogue with leading international photography and art schools. This exhibition presents the works of emerging international artists, brought together around the theme “Face-to-face”, exploring the relationships between form, color, and identity through photography and video. Following its presentation in Arles, this 8th edition highlights a new generation of talented creators, whose works demonstrate remarkable artistic mastery, combining formal freedom with creative maturity. Among the laureates, two ECAL graduates from the Bachelor Photography stand out for their deeply personal and imaginative universes. In A Home With No Roof, explores her past and the intimate space of her childhood through miniature models of her home, confronting memories and traumas with a creative distance that allows objects, bodies, and space to engage in dialogue. Each image becomes a hybrid staging, between refuge and threat, enabling a silent confrontation with personal history and a path toward self-reconciliation. For her part, presents Alien Love Call, a series of six images inspired by 1950s cinema, 1970s design, and science fiction. Her retro-futuristic narrative depicts a love story between two extraterrestrials, blending nostalgia for an idealized future with a fantastical universe. The images, shot in medium-format film, create a visual refuge where romance and imagination flourish within a setting that is at once familiar and unreal.DATES AND SCHEDULES27.02-27.03.2026 Wednesday to Friday, 1pm - 5pm Free entryVENUEGalerie l elac ECAL / Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne Av. du Temple 5, 1020 RenensOPENING & TALKThursday, February 26th 6pm Talk, IKEA auditorium Julien Frydmann, Founder OFFSCREEN Festival Nathalie Herschdorfer, Director Photo Elysée Vassilis Oikonomopoulos, Artistic Director, LUMA Arles Joel Quayson, Winner Prix Dior 2025 Aline Savioz, ECAL Bachelor Photography Student 7pm Opening, Galerie l elacARTISTSQianyi Bao, Sara De Brito Faustino, Momo Nakaqawa, Wenlong Qi, Joel Quayson, Raine Roberts, Aline Savioz, Eliot Stein, Chia Yun Wu, Danilo Zocatelli Cesco
Arboricrop — Next generation agriculture using real-time information from tree crops Arboricrop is a research project conducted by a multidisciplinary consortium bringing together Vivent Biosignals, Changins – University of Viticulture and Oenology, and ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne (HES-SO), with the support of Innosuisse. Its objective is to develop a miniaturized plant electrophysiology sensor designed for use in real agricultural conditions: the VITA Mini Sensor. VITA measures plant physiological signals and identifies stress situations before visible symptoms appear. The aim of the project is to provide farmers with early, plant-specific information (water, nutritional, biotic, or abiotic stress) in order to support decision-making and limit systematic or preventive interventions based on general assumptions. The system is part of an approach that seeks more targeted use of agricultural resources, in a context of increasing climate variability. Design was integrated from the earliest phases of the project, in direct connection with the scientific, agronomic, and technical developments. This early integration made it possible to align technical choices (electronic architecture, antenna, power supply, cabling) with real-world field-use constraints, as well as maintenance and durability requirements. The sensor is built around a transparent polycarbonate housing, allowing direct visibility of its internal components. This approach aims to facilitate inspection, understanding of operation, and maintenance. The enclosure is waterproof while remaining fully disassemblable. The product architecture is based on complete modularity: the electronic board (PCB), battery, cables, and sensors are all separable and replaceable. The object s design takes into account real conditions of use (handling with gloves, quick installation, exposure to weather). The design work also addresses information structuring: electrophysiological signals are translated, via Vivent s algorithms, into synthetic, actionable indicators, with progressive access to more detailed data when needed. VITA is now produced in series and deployed in a range of agricultural contexts, including open-field crops, arboriculture, viticulture, and controlled-environment growing systems, across Europe, North America, and South America.Principal investigatorStéphane Halmaï-VoisardResearch teamPietro Alberti Maxwell Ashford Alain Bellet Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard Laurent SoldiniPeriod01.11.2023–30.04.2026Funded byInnosuisse – Agence suisse pour l encouragement de l innovation, Confédération suissePartnersChangins – Haute école de viticulture et œnologie Vivent BiosignalsLecturers and researchersVivent Biosignals: Dr Nigel Wallbridge – Founder, Executive Chairman Carrol Plummer – Founder, CEO Dr Andrzej Kurenda – Chief Scientific Officer Dr Andreas Kolbeck – Plant Scientist Laura Baude – Plant Scientist Nick Barker – CTO Changins: Prof Markus Rienth – Professor of Viticulture Dr Amanda Malvessi Cattani – Research AssociateContributorsYounès Klouche Frederik Mahler-Andersen

In Loving Memory of Milo Keller (1979–2025) Milo Keller, photographer, teacher and researcher, a leading figure in contemporary photography in Switzerland and a recognised player on the international art scene, has passed away. His death deeply affects ECAL, where he played an essential role for nearly two decades, as well as all those with whom he shared his vision, his thoughts and his commitment. Born in 1979 in Lugano, Milo Keller obtained his Bachelor s degree in Photography at ECAL in 2005, which he complemented with a Postgraduate Diploma in Photography in 2007. An internationally renowned artist, he has had a rich and demanding career, marked by numerous publications and collaborations in the fields of architecture, design and fashion, notably for Wallpaper, Numéro, Vogue and L Officiel, as well as with fashion houses such as Balenciaga, Vitra and Moncler. His rigorous and open artistic practice has always been nourished by a constant dialogue with the transformations of the photographic medium. Alongside his work as an artist, Milo Keller has been committed with great vigour and remarkable generosity to teaching at ECAL since 2007. He has headed the Photography Department since 2012 and in 2016 founded the Master s programme in Photography, which he has developed as an international space for critical reflection, research and visual experimentation. Through research projects such as Automated Photography, Augmented Photography and, more recently, Soft Photography – a project scheduled for development in 2026 – he has thoroughly examined the changes in contemporary photography, exploring the relationships between technologies, uses, materialities and sensibilities in the production and circulation of images. Milo Keller conceived of this research as a genuine educational space, inviting students to become critical actors in contemporary imagery. Deeply committed to transmission, he saw pedagogy as a field of dialogue and mutual learning. Convinced that teaching is a living process, he often reminded us that ‘we always learn a great deal from our students. His approach, both demanding and benevolent, left a lasting impression and helped to shape a community based on exchange, curiosity and openness. Until his final days, Milo Keller remained attentive to the life of the school and the projects of its students, demonstrating his unwavering commitment and passion for photography and its challenges. ECAL extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and students. We express our profound gratitude to Milo for his unwavering commitment, his pedagogical acumen, and his invaluable contribution to the school. His artistic, intellectual, and human legacy will continue to inspire future generations. Thank you, Milo.
Workshop with Benoît Dervaux Second-year Bachelor s students attended a workshop with Belgian cinematographer Benoît Dervaux, known for his work on the Dardenne brothers films. He was responsible for the cinematography on the Swiss films Laissez-moi by Maxime Rappaz (2023) and À bras-le-corps by Marie-Elsa Sgualdo (2025). "When Rachel Noël asked me to come to ECAL to give a workshop on image centred on light, I thought about it for a while and then immediately thought of this quote that I really like and that has stayed with me for a long time, by Serge Daney: In artistic terms, an absolutely intuitive, almost animalistic understanding of what can be done is much more important than knowing what one wants to do. Throughout my career, I have often observed how light in cinema remains a mystery that is difficult to unravel for many people, including numerous professionals in the sector, producers, directors, etc. However, for the director of photography, who is responsible for the image of a film, light, however fantastical and artistic it may be, inevitably requires at some point to be forged from tangible and material elements. Starting from the axiom that a film shot must above all be structured and constructed according to the camera position, during this workshop we observed the interplay of light and shadow. Through a series of simple, practical exercises, I attempted to introduce the students to cinema lighting so that it would no longer be an abstract concept for them. By giving them these few keys, I hope that they will now be able to observe photography in a more analytical way and gain a deeper understanding of films." Benoit Dervaux
Welcome 2026! Artist Louisa Gagliardi presents the 2025 greetings for ECAL with Aphrodisiacs (for 2026), a work that blends digital imagery and tactile materials. Louisa Gagliardi lives and works in Zurich. A graduate of ECAL, she creates paintings from digital images printed on PVC, a material whose gloss evokes the light of a screen. On these surfaces, she applies gels, varnishes, glitter, or latex, giving her works an iridescent depth and an almost virtual presence. Between illusion and materiality, her compositions reinvent social scenes marked by ambiguity and strangeness, revealing the tension between reality and artifice characteristic of our connected era. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries from Seoul to New York and across Europe. Her pieces are included in prestigious international collections, including the Banque Pictet Collection and MAMCO in Geneva, FRAC Normandie, Fondazione Sandra e Giancarlo Bonollo in Thiene, Kistefos Museum in Norway, and TANK in Shanghai. @louisagagliardi louisagagliardi.com

Workshop NORM - A Shape in a Shape How can graphic design be promoted by demonstrating its fundamentals? Led by the studio NORM for first-year students, this workshop aims to highlight ECAL s Graphic Design programme through the didactic lens of elementary instruction. Each day, students were assigned a global theme (A – Words, B – Images, C – Graphics, D – Drawings), along with a series of simple questions. By combining this input, they produced three collaborative double-sided posters, intended to be offset-printed for ECAL s Open Days. Each poster features its own duotone combination and folds into a booklet. This project emphasizes how the combinatory potential of simple elements can become a powerful tool in graphic design, while underlining the importance of process in creation.

The Assembly of Writings A collective exploration of the new relations between contemporary writing and artistic practice. The Assembly of Writings is a research project conducted at ECAL / University of Art and Design Lausanne, between September 2024 and October 2025. Conceived and directed by Federico Nicolao, assisted by Valentina Parati and Alice Peach, and supported by the HES-SO, the project gathered artists, writers, philosophers, and key figures from the contemporary arts scene to examine the transformations of writing and its dialogue with the arts. Through a year of encounters, workshops, and discussions, the participants explored how writing today extends beyond its literary field to intersect with visual and performative practices. The project culminated in a collective publication, bringing together more than thirty contributions in diverse formats—texts, images, conversations, fragments— each revealing a new way of perceiving and transmitting the experience of the possible synergies between arts and writings. The Assembly of Writings positions writing as both material and gesture, an experimental field where thought and creation merge. This collective inquiry reflects ECAL s commitment to fostering new forms of knowledge at the crossroads of art, literature, and philosophy.Principal investigatorFederico NicolaoResearch teamValentina Parati Alice PeachLecturers and researchersEmmanuel Alloa, Luc Andrié, Micol Assaël, Mathias Augustyniak, Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha, Mariacristina Cavagnoli, Zoé Cornelius, Roberto Cuoghi, Tacita Dean, Marcelline Delbecq, Camille de Toledo, Suzanne Doppelt, Haytham El Wardany, Lucas Erin, Elein Fleiss, Linda Fregni Nagler, Mathilde Girard, Donatien Grau, Alain Guiraudie, Yannick Haenel, Koo Jeong-A, Jochen Lempert, Angèle Metzger, Stéphanie Moisdon, Gaëlle Obiegly, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Chiara Parisi, Fabienne Raphoz, Francesca Torzo, Carmen et Franco Toselli, Shirin Yousefi, Hanns ZischlerAssistantsValentina Parati Alice PeachStudents and alumniLucas Aulaigner, Francesco de Bernardi, Jean Bourgois, Lorenzo De Bellis, Francesco De Bernardi, Livia De Gumoëns, Ange Frédéric Koffi, Taleb Lacheb, Asia Lapai, Paul R.

Design for Recycling through Automation and Robotics in Apparel Accessories and Footwear This project develops design for recycling textile-based goods, one of the most damaging waste streams, using contemporary toolsets to dismantle products into pure fractions. Recycling textile-based goods after use is extremely difficult with current methods. To improve recycling outcomes, it is essential to recover pure materials—known as fractions—from post-consumer waste. However, due to the fibrous nature of textiles, mixed materials, varied constructions, flexibility, and product diversity, achieving pure fractions is nearly impossible using existing processes. As a result, the textile industry generates vast amounts of waste and significantly harms the environment, especially through its heavy reliance on virgin resources. This project develops robotic and automated tools to dismantle post-consumer textile products into pure fractions, complete with the data and traceability needed for effective material recycling. To make this possible, design and manufacturing processes must consider the constraints of automated disassembly. The systems developed are intended for adoption by large-scale producers of textile-based goods, helping to significantly reduce environmental impact.Principal investigatorMaxwell AshfordPeriod01.09.2025 - 31.08.2026Funded byBRIDGE Proof of ConceptCybernetic Sustainability Panel Gens Public Programme: Cybernetic Sustainabilities – From Past Experiments To Contemporary Reinterpretations 11.10.2025, 15:00–17:00 Biennale di Venezia, Arsenale On Saturday 11 October 2025, fabric | ch, the Lausanne-based studio for architecture, interaction and research was the host of the panel “Cybernetic Sustainability”, as part of the public programme of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, in the Speakers Corner of the Biennale, this year titled “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.” The panel “Cybernetic Sustainability” explored the intersections between architecture, machine learning, art, climate data, and sustainability approaches, drawing on both historical and contemporary works. Emphasis was placed on cybernetics from an historical and analytical perspective, ephemeral algorithmic systems, and their potential interplay with vernacular approaches, framing discussions around collective intelligence and research-practice exchanges as key themes for panellists and moderation. “Cybernetic Sustainability” was hosted by Patrick Keller and Christophe Guignard, members of Fabric and professors at ECAL (HES-SO), featured Giulia Bini (head of Arts at CERN), Chrissie Muhr (Architect, Curator, Artistic Director of Experimental Foundation – Berlin), and Ashford Maxwell (Designer, Researcher at ECAL (HES-SO)).

These grants are intended to enable creators to reach the next level in their careers by enabling them to carry out a personal project that contributes to their artistic development. Each grant is worth CHF 50,000 and is awarded annually to artists selected (by invitation) by the Cultural Grants and Awards Jury. A graduate of ECAL Bachelor s and Master s degree in Fine Arts, Peilian Li is a visual artist and writer based in French-speaking Switzerland since 2016. Born in China, she came to live in Switzerland, in Ticino, at the age of 10, before settling down. Her artistic practice is not limited to a specific medium or form: Peilian Li explores a variety of formats and creates spaces conducive to the emergence of narratives, places of listening and attention where ideas can emerge freely and thoughts can circulate. For her, creating is not simply painting or building an installation, but seeking a playground, a place where one can feel both calm and curious. Since 2022, she has been developing research on artificial intelligence (AI), addressing its moral, philosophical, social and spiritual dimensions. She is interested in weak links, digital disembodiment, the relationship between individual and collective memory, and the poetic forms that AI-related creations can take. Her process often begins with an intimate sharing of personal memories, which then expands into a more global approach integrating scientific research and in situ interventions. Through her work, Peilian Li tells stories in which listening, perception and intuition play a fundamental role. She follows signals, coincidences and details, convinced that what she notices is worth pursuing. @emma__bucks leenaards.ch
Stephanie Wilson – Iconic Iconic stands at the intersection of typography, social research, and inclusive design. It addresses a growing concern: making reading more accessible for senior readers. Through the development of a typeface named Iconic, the project aims to enhance reading comfort while offering an aesthetic, functional, and adaptable typeface suited to the changes associated with aging. The project was created in collaboration with senior-lab, a Swiss platform dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors. Grounded in a participatory methodology, this collaboration enabled a reality-based approach: available in serif, sans serif, sans semibold, and italics, Iconic was designed based on feedback and testimonials gathered from seniors during sessions held at ECAL.
Ludovico Orombelli – Sinopia Sinopia is the culmination of a research project carried out at ECAL on the techniques and images that have shaped the Western imaginary. A scene from The "Legend of the True Cross", painted in the 15th century, has been reproduced using the same materials that its author, Piero della Francesca, employed to sketch the preparatory drawing on the wall before completing it in paint. The image thus reappears in its earliest phase, as a ghostly presence that invites us to reflect on the presence and role of the past within our present time.
Cuvée Pierre Keller 2025,25.09.2025,Saint-Saphorin On Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 5pm, the 7th edition of the limited cuvée "lâche-moi la grappe" will be tasted and sold at the Vinothèque du Château de Glérolles. To honor Pierre Keller s major contribution to the reputation of ECAL and the promotion of Vaud wines, we are pleased to invite you to the launch (tasting and sale) of the 7th edition of the limited cuvée “Lâche-moi la grappe” on Thursday, 25 September 2025 from 5 pm at the Vinothèque of Château de Glérolles. Based in Lavaux, where he chose to live surrounded by the calm of the vineyards, Pierre Keller often collaborated with the Frères Dubois, particularly through their work with the Office des vins vaudois. They discovered in him a man who could be both brilliant and incisive when defending Vaud wines, and joyful and festive when sharing them. This blend of rigor and generosity, qualities also essential to the work of winemakers, resonates deeply in this 7th cuvée entrusted to this emblematic Lavaux estate. It stands both as a tribute and an invitation to celebrate these values. Proceeds from the sale will contribute to the Pierre Keller Prize, awarded to an ECAL diploma project of outstanding commitment.DATES & SCHEDULESThursday 25 September 2025 – 5pm Free entry with registrationWEBSITEwww.vaudvins.chTICKETSRegister until 22 SeptemberVENUEVinothèque du Château de Glérolles Rte du Lac 27 1071 Saint-Saphorin CFF Stop : Rivaz Please use public transport: limited parking available.

Zufall??? Schicksal!!!,17.09–17.10.2025,Gallery l elac A collective exhibition, conceived by artist Miriam Laura Leonardi, which offers an unstable space, without a central theme or linear path, inviting visitors to wander and reflect. A Bit of School, A Bit of Snow, And It Derails... claims that art is more than just another subject taught at school. The exhibition deliberately breaks with spatial balance, avoiding a central theme or linear path. With no clear beginning or end, it invites movement, wandering, and uncertain navigation. Unlike immersive formats, the layout creates an unstable space — one that encourages reflection. Through a selection of diverse works and approaches — from artists of different generations, ECAL graduates, Swiss and international — the exhibition offers landmarks within a timeless process. These artistic positions spark doubt, raise questions, and create disorientation. Our stance? Affirming negation. Can one say “I love art” or “I hate art” — especially as an artist? And within the very context of an art school? Coincidence??? Fate!!!

Deemed Visionless,06–27.09.2025,Treize, Paris Deemed Visionless is a group exhibition by students from ECAL s Master Fine Arts, conceived as a free, off-programme experience in collaboration with the Parisian gallery Treize. Deemed Visionless continues a research and production process initiated by David Douard, Julien Laugier and Stéphanie Moisdon. As the second chapter of a collaboration between ECAL and the gallery Treize, the exhibition embraces the idea of a collective, off-programme experiment without a predetermined vision. It outlines human cartographies, the topography of a space shaped by relations, apparitions, silhouettes and the ghost of an architecture – an attempt to form a group without model or foundation.DATES & SCHEDULE6–27 September 2025 Thursday–Saturday, 2pm–7pm Free entryVENUETreize 24 rue Moret 75011 ParisWEBSITEtreize.siteOPENINGFriday 5 September 2025 6pm–10pmSTUDENTS· · · · · · · · · · ·

Pratique photographique – 2025 OBI: Object Brochure Investigation More than just a store, OBI has become an integral part of local history. This Renens landmark also maintains a close link with ECAL, serving as a landmark and source of inspiration for its students. In fact, there is an architectural filiation between the two: Jean Tschumi s son, Bernard Tschumi, is the architect who designed the ECAL s renovation. This generational dialogue further strengthens OBI s place in students visual and creative imaginations. OBI embodies the spirit of “Do It Yourself” (DIY), a concept that emerged in 1968 under the impetus of Stewart Brand, founder of the Whole Earth Catalog, an alternative publication born of his exploration under 200 micrograms of LSD. The DIY movement advocated an alternative lifestyle and resistance to hyper-consumption. Today, this philosophy is far removed from that embodied by OBI, considered to be a mass-market store. This paradox will be the focus of this semester s project. Since DIY has been structured around a publication, students will come full circle by producing an OBI-inspired edition of their own.
A Graduation Film Selected at Annecy Animation Film Festival 2025 The animated short film Qui part à la chasse by ECAL graduate Léa Favre has been selected for the official competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Created as part of her Bachelor diploma work at ECAL, s short film is competing in the “Graduation Films” category of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Titled Qui part à la chasse, the film combines dark humor and puppetry to reverse roles in a forest chase that is as tense as it is absurd. Produced in collaboration with Hélium Films, this project showcases the strength of ECAL s Animation program. @leafre_ annecyfestival.com
Direction workshop with Patric Chiha In partnership with La Manufacture, the Cinema Dapartment invited austrian director Patric Chiha for a direction workshop destined to 3rd year students. Head of workshop: "The deepest thing about man is his skin. Although it s not its subject, this beautiful phrase by Paul Valéry speaks to me of the essence of cinema: we only film surfaces and nothing else. During the workshop, I d like to work with the students from ECAL and La Manufacture on a series of screen tests, essays, shots... a bit like what you d do during a casting. For me, a casting is not a moment of verification or testing, but of research and encounter. What can directors and actors do together? Where does this first meeting lead us? How do we approach and film the other? How can we avoid trapping them in a preconceived image, and instead liberate their multiple identities? I don t believe in directing actors, except that perhaps, in an encounter, we direct each other. I believe much more in the tools of cinema - the camera, the light, the music... - as an invitation to play, to surprise, to emotion. Over the five days of the workshop, we ll use a series of improvisations, filmed in natural or artificial light, with or without words, trusting in the mysteries of faces, the pace of bodies and the rhythms of gestures - in everything that may at first seem superficial - and without resorting to scripts, to try to reach emotions." Patric Chiha, director
Manor Cultural Prize 2026 awarded to Lucas Erin Congratulations to artist Lucas Erin, ECAL graduate, who has been awarded the 2026 Manor Cultural Prize for the canton of Vaud. The jury was impressed by his approach, both precise and poetic. Created in 1982 to support emerging Swiss talent, the Manor Cultural Prize is awarded every two years by a jury of experts. Presented at a key moment in the careers of young artists, the prize offers significant momentum for their work and contributes to the promotion of contemporary art in the canton of Vaud. The award also includes a solo museum exhibition at MCBA and the publication of a catalogue. Born in 1990 in Clamart, France, Lucas Erin holds a Master s degree in Visual Arts from ECAL, where he also worked as a teaching assistant for several years. His practice spans installation, sculpture and video. Deeply interested in the notion of contact, as traced through objects, and attentive to the shifting boundary between interior and exterior, Lucas Erin explores what succeeds or fails in the act of exchange. Through carefully constructed arrangements, found objects and meticulously crafted sculptures, he creates spaces rich with overlapping histories and emerging narratives. Influenced by thinkers of creolisation, his process relies on association, recovery and displacement to allow new meanings to emerge within the exhibition space. His work has been the subject of several solo exhibitions in Switzerland and France, and has also been featured in numerous group shows. Between 2013 and 2020, he was actively involved in the independent art scene as co-founder of Happy Baby Gallery in Crissier, a team member of La Colonie in Paris, and a collaborator on various curatorial projects between Paris and Lausanne. The artist will present a solo exhibition in the Project Space at MCBA in autumn 2026, accompanied by a publication. lucaserin.com @_lucas.erin_
SolarPunk SolarPunk is a design exploration into how increasingly accessible solar energy might shape and integrate into our everyday lives in the near future. Embracing a hopeful vision of sustainability, the movement challenges traditional perceptions of renewable energy by imagining creative, aesthetic, and functional uses of solar power. This collection of work was created by first-year Master s students in Product Design at ECAL, under the guidance of designer Philippe Malouin. Developed specifically for the Soleil·s exhibition at the MUDAC design museum in Lausanne, the projects reflect bold experimentation and speculative thinking. Rather than focusing solely on efficiency or utility, the students explored poetic, playful, and sometimes unconventional applications of solar energy, highlighting the emotional and experiential potential of this technology. Among the featured works are two standout projects which have been developed and feature in the exhibition: ‘Solar Shade by Carl Johan Jacobsen, a wearable hat that powers a cooling vest using flexible solar panels, and ‘Butterfly Sunglasses by Takumi Ise, simple lightweight eyewear that combines colour, movement, and solar functionality. https://mudac.ch/en/exhibitions/solar-biennale/Exhibiton:

Folklore Fusion Folklore Fusion – a CGI character project developed by students in Bachelor Media & Interaction Design at ECAL, exploring the creative collision between Japanese and Swiss folklore through the lens of contemporary visual storytelling. Through the immense popularity of anime, manga, or global phenomena, Japanese narratives and visuals have conquered the world, shaping pop culture and popularizing themes from Japanese folklore in Western media. In this context, Folklore Fusion explores the creative interplay between tradition and modern visual storytelling with a cutting-edge CGI character project. After an intense trip through Tokyo s vibrant neighborhoods, rich history, architecture, and local legends, ECAL Bachelor Media & Interaction Design students created the Swijūs—fusion of “switzerland” and “Kai-Jū”—hybrid creatures blending Japanese and Swiss folklore. Each student focused on a specific district of Tokyo, merging its cultural and architectural identity with legendary figures from both traditions to craft unique narratives. By studying clichés and stereotypes, they reinterpreted cultural symbols to create an unexpected fusion between the two worlds. Behind a seemingly naive approach, Folklore Fusion deeply investigates the capabilities of modular design system in both storytelling and visual language, following detailed creation guidelines that ensure balance between the two folklores. Much like a successful phenomenon expanding its range of media, the project plays with multiple cross-media formats that reflect how popular culture circulates in the digital age. It features an authentic trading card game (TCG) collection that easily fits into other existing decks, with various levels of rarity and immersive augmented reality (AR) content that brings the Swijūs to life. A magazine-style printed edition documents research inspirations, while an interactive online map allows exploration of a reimagined Tokyo where each Swijū watches over its district. Beyond paying homage and respect to Japanese culture, Folklore Fusion and its Swijū become imaginary artifacts of an era marked by cross-cultural influences and shared narratives.Magazine of Fusion Explore the bilingual Folklore Fusion Japanese-English edition, a magazine-style book printed with metallic pantone. Serving as a visual archive, it compiles research, iconic imagery, and analyses to extend the project.

Folklore Fusion at Milano Design Week,08–13.04.2025,Spazio Orso 16, Milano ECAL presents Folklore Fusion at Milano Design Week 2025 Through the immense popularity of anime, manga, or global phenomena, Japanese narratives and visuals have conquered the world, shaping pop culture and popularizing themes from Japanese folklore in Western media. In this context, Folklore Fusion explores the creative interplay between tradition and modern visual storytelling with a cutting-edge CGI character project. After an intense trip through Tokyo s vibrant neighborhoods, rich history, architecture, and local legends, ECAL Bachelor Media & Interaction Design students created the Swijūs — hybrid creatures blending Japanese and Swiss Folklore. Beneath its playful appearance, Folklore Fusion examines the narrative potential of modular design. Presented at Milan Design Week in a scenography conceived by ECAL Bachelor Industrial Design students, the project offers an immersive experience that brings the Swijūs to life, enriched by a trading card game collection, an interactive map of Tokyo and a printed publication. Beyond paying tribute to Japanese culture, Folklore Fusion and its Swijūs become imaginary artefacts, reflecting the cultural exchanges and shared narratives of our time.

Watches and Wonders GENEVA,01–07.04.2025,Palexpo, Geneva On the occasion of Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, ECAL teams up with Ceramaret to present an exclusive collection of jewelry in technical ceramics At the invitation of Watches and Wonders Geneva, ECAL will present a brand-new project in partnership with Ceramaret, a leading Swiss company in the manufacture and high-precision machining of technical ceramics. To mark the occasion, a selection of five jewellery and bracelet designs will be on display at the LAB, a venue dedicated to innovation and design. Thanks to this first collaboration with the Neuchâtel-based manufacturer, students in MAS Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship got to discover a state-of-the-art machine park. Renowned for developing and producing components for the luxury watchmaking industry, Ceramaret s teams contributed their expertise to this ambitious research. Combining innovation with creativity, the project brings together the know-how of specialised engineers in materials science and the boundless inventiveness of an up-and-coming generation of designers. Following the presentation of the students 15 concepts, five designs were selected and prototyped in technical ceramics, using additive technologies – a 3D printing process that provides the possibility to create intricate, previously unimaginable shapes. This collection, including bracelets inspired by fine watchmaking and innovative jewellery designs, draws its inspiration as much from the beauty of organic forms as from the complexity of systems derived from engineering.DATES ET SCHEDULEFrom April 5 to 7, 2025 Tickets & InformationVENUELAB area Palexpo Genève Route François-Peyrot 30 1218 Le Grand-SaconnexWEBSITEwatchesandwonders.comHEAD OF PROGRAMMESTUDENTSJérémie Arpa, Emilie Heger, Lena Heinrich, Sebastian Renga, Arnaud TantetASSISTANTINTERVENANT
Horizon Ouest,26.03–21.05.2025,Bussigny Observing Urban Transformation: ECAL Students Capture the New Spaces of Western Lausanne New transport infrastructures are being built, while former industrial wastelands are giving way to modern buildings and redeveloped outdoor spaces. Little by little, residents are taking over these new neighborhoods and adopting new habits. To capture the first moments of life in these spaces, the association "Ouest lausannois : Prix Wakker 2011" invited second-year students in ECAL s Bachelor of Photography program to observe them throughout 2024. The exhibition highlights 18 construction sites in progress or recently completed neighborhoods. Through their eyes, the students offer us original approaches to discovering, taming and appropriating these new spaces. At the end of the exhibition, everyone is invited to go and explore these places for themselves. Photography has a unique relationship with the world around us, because it often depends on it. Far from documenting it in the strict sense of the word, photography has the capacity to transfigure and reveal the invisible or the unspeakable. At the request of the "Ouest lausannois: Prix Wakker 2011" Association, ECAL photography students have adopted this approach, exploring various territories in the western part of Lausanne. As part of this commission, each student was allocated a specific location by lottery: a new district, a construction site or a singular building, on which he or she worked for one academic year. Faced with spaces that are sometimes unphotogenic, or even resistant to images, the challenge was to go beyond appearances, to enter into resonance with these places in order to grasp their own dynamics. The photographs on display question our perception of these recent landscapes, and bear witness to the human activity taking place there. What do they say about the way we live and move around? Who are the people who inhabit these spaces? What landscape forms are emerging from these rapid transformations? Through approaches that are at times sensitive and intimate, at times distanced and analytical, or guided by a formal fascination for the objects apprehended, the works presented reveal the density and diversity of everyday life. They give rise to a poetics of the city, inviting us to consider these territories not as mere functional backgrounds, but as spaces in their own right, bearers of histories, forms and an identity of their own - shifting and multiple, like those who inhabit them.DATES & VENUETravelling exhibition Bussigny 26.03 – 10.04 PL.

SYMPOSIUM MASTER ARTS VISUELS,26.03.2025,IKEA Auditorium, ECAL On March 26, 2025, the Master of Visual Arts proposes the symposium Worldbuilding in an era of extreme fragmentation This one-day conference is an interdisciplinary event taking as its starting point the fragmentation thesis, based on the observation that our political conversations online – in forums, social media platforms, or discussion sites – are secluded into ideologically uniform groups. This tendency towards homophily is nothing new yet it has dramatically taken speed recently, to the point that it can be seen as a planetary condition of our times. The infrastructural changes in our digital networks – privatization, tracking, and algorithmic rationality – are not the sole explanatory factors. Finance capitalism, genocidal conflicts, climate crisis, as well as ambient anxiety all trigger responses that tend to favor withdrawal strategies.
