RAPID LIQUID PRINT A short and engaging workshop held in collaboration with Rapid Liquid Print, a Boston-based startup and spinoff of the MIT Self-Assembly Lab, explored the fundamentals of Embedded 3D Printing by questioning, in both technical and poetic terms, what defines a curve, a surface, or a thickened volume as it transitions from the digital to the physical world. Working with a silicone-based material that is body-compatible, food-safe, heat-resistant, elastic, and airtight (even inflatable), participants embraced both the capabilities and limitations of this liquid printing technique. In teams, they were tasked with designing objects for specific parts of the human body—such as the leg, arm, torso, or head.The outcomes ranged from medical or prosthesis-inspired pieces to fashion accessories and experimental body-related tools. This hands-on workshop emphasized speculative thinking, material sensitivity, and a unique form of digital craftsmanship through robotics and custom extrusion.Titled TECHNO WORKSHOPS, a series of workshops explored the creative potential of different technologies in the context of industrial design. Students were able to discover Additive Manufacturing with Rapid Liquid Print, Artificial Intelligence with the EPFL+ECAL Lab, and 3D Scanning with Michel Charlot and the Technopôle Sainte-Croix. These workshops gave them the opportunity to experiment with and reflect on the potential of such technologies, and to envision how they can be integrated into the design process — from early ideation and exploration to the tangible realization of objects and concepts.FIND THE OTHER WORKSHOPS HERE:

Julie Richoz receives one of the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris 2023 Congratulations to designer Julie Richoz, ECAL graduate and winner of the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris 2023. For 30 years, the City of Paris has renewed its commitment to the creative professions each year. In 2023, the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris will reward 7 winners: 3 Grands Prix, 3 Emerging Talents and 1 Fashion Accessories Prize. The Grand Prix rewards a professional for the quality of his or her project and career path, development strategy, commitment to the transmission of know-how or innovation. This prize is aimed at experienced professionals, companies and brands whose development is well advanced. A 2012 graduate of a Bachelor Industrial Design from ECAL, worked with designer Pierre Charpin from 2013 to 2015. Winner of the Grand Prix du Jury at the Villa Noailles Design Parade in 2012, which enabled her to work with CIRVA (Centre international de recherche sur le verre et les arts plastiques), published by Galerie Kreo, she says she entered design practice with one-off pieces or small series. " However, I put a lot of energy into developing industrial projects, which then become accessible to a larger number of people. It s a different, more complex approach, where everything can come undone for a detail. That s why, when I saw the letter of intent from Inga Sempé, the President of the Jury, I wanted to present my work to her. She explained that she wanted to showcase singular but also industrial objects. (...) This proves that just because you work in series doesn t mean you can t be bold in language and form." says the designer, who set up her studio in 2012. julierichoz.com bdmma.paris

L Arte del Vetro Grezzo,09–17.09.2023 A selection of glass works inspired by the techniques and world of the Venetian glass Masters. On the occasion of The Venice Glass Week 2023, and as an initiative of the Fondation Etrillard (Geneva), the Fondazione dell Albero d Oro (Venice) and the Swiss manufacturer ALCO, this project aims to combine knowhow and creativity. Thanks to this support, eighteen students from the Master in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship from the ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne have had the unique opportunity to meet and work with Murano-based Master glassmakers. This research project began with a visit of manufactures on the Venetian island, internationally renowned for its glassmaking history. During one week the students have had the chance to meet a number of artisans and discover with them ancient production techniques. At the heart of these prestigious factories, every detail is potentially transformed into a source of inspiration: a tool, raw blocks of glass, scraps accumulated in containers or blown glass pieces stacked for decades on wooden shelves. As well as the techniques and creative worlds that emerged from these workshops, the inspiration also came from life in Venice, which many of the students (from ten different nationalities) were discovering for the first time: the omnipresence of water, the colours and reflections, the erosion of materials and the contrast between the different elements. The work of the students, under the guidance of designer Ini Archibong, led to the selection of five concepts, grouped together in works made from raw materials. In the form of ‘ready-mades , the aim of this exhibition is to capture the history and skills of the Master glassmakers through creative compositions featuring simple rods, plates or blocks of glass, produced in Murano using specific processes handed down from generation to generation.

Remo Corazza – Les satellites ne tombent jamais du ciel (images) My graduation work consisted of being the cinematographer on the film Les satellites ne Tombent Jamais du Ciel, which I co-directed with Matias Carlier, a 2022 Film Studies graduate from ECAL. The film tells the story of brother and sister Loup and Noah, who get together every Sunday to go pickpocketing. After robbing a passer-by in a shopping mall, they meet Monica, a woman in her sixties who invites them into her home. An unexpected bond develops between the three.
César Cadène – Avant l océan (image) My graduation project at ECAL involved being the director of photography for the film Avant l Océan, written and directed by student director Ilan Dubi. Inspired by the cinema of the Safdie brothers and John Cassavetes, this film was a real technical and creative challenge. We worked with long focal lengths, shoulder movements and natural light to capture the nocturnal wanderings of two young people stuck in Lausanne. The minimalist lighting, the uniqueness of each location and the intimate point of view of the camera reinforced the authenticity of the narrative and aesthetic framework of the film. This project allowed me to refine my instinctive and sensitive approach to the camera and light work.
Fantastic Smartphones at Ars Electronica 2023,06–10.09.2023 Ars Electronica is hosting the Fantastic Smartphones exhibition from 6 to 10 September 2023 in Austria. Ars Electronica is considered to be Europe s biggest and oldest event devoted to art, technology and society. For its 2023 edition, the festival is inviting artists, scientists, developers, designers and entrepreneurs to consider the following question: Who owns the truth? A theme that touches on the main controversial issues of our time: truth and ownership, interpretative authority and sovereignty. Can truth be owned? Is there a right to truth and, if it belongs to someone, what control and responsibility are associated with it? Fantastic Smartphones takes part in the festival with a serie of interactive installations developed by the Bachelor Media & Interaction Design students of ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne, investigating in a critical and offbeat way our relationship with our smartphones and the way they influence our daily behaviour.

Directing workshop with Yann Gonzalez In partnership with La Manufacture, the Master Cinema ECAL/HEAD invited director Yann Gonzalez to take part in a directing workshop. Professor: The most crucial challenge in working on the question of theatricality was to create links between the students of the Master ECAL/HEAD, and those of La Manufacture - Stage directing Master. Theatricality is organic to my cinephilia and, indeed, to my films. By showing the students extracts from opposite ends of the spectrum, from Chantal Akerman s Toute une nuit to John Waters Desperate Living, from Daniel Schmid s Cette nuit ou jamais to a clip from Palmbomen II, I wanted to convey this idea of a plural theatricality, by turns playful and grotesque, hypnotic and lyrical. In short, theatricality as a tool for freedom. And that s what we set out to do, all of us together, during this short workshop week: to create bursts of freedom within the limits of a collective exercise with no resources - two days of preparation and reflection, two days of filming, one day of editing. Starting with a basic constraint and narrative, two groups of six students opened up their most unbridled imaginations and shared roles and functions with a group spirit that was a pleasure to behold.

Tant qu il n y a pas de frottement, le mouvement sera continu,01.06–24.09.2023,Espace Mercerie, Lausanne An exhibition presented by second-year Bachelor of Visual Arts students at the ECAL, as part of the "faits et gestes" course taught by Philippe Decrauzat, in collaboration with VU.CH, art in hospital. "Rue Mercerie" has always been a hotbed of artistic activity. Between 1970 and 1996, the Rivolta gallery exhibited a large number of modern and contemporary artists. In this cobbled street, which has been linked to Lausanne s art history for many years, a common reflection was born: how can an exhibition space be shaped and questioned? A connection is made between the outside and the inside of the art space. The main feature of the street, its severe slope, is transposed into the space in the form of an oblique platform. Various works are presented on this platform, blending the collective with the individual. By modifying the floor, the behaviour usually adopted in an exhibition space is disturbed. The traditional point of view is disrupted, allowing a different approach to the space and the works. Audiences are invited to descend into this space and experience what this layout can offer. The impact not only of the space but also of the history of the place on the experience of an art installation is reminiscent of a principle that underpins the VU.CH programme at the CHUV - Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois. Art in the hospital context is much the same as in a museum or gallery, but it is experienced differently, not least because of the configuration of the spaces.DATES AND SCHEDULEFrom 1 June to 24 September 2023 Open every Saturday, 11am-2pm Free entryADDRESSEspace Mercerie Rue Mercerie 22 1003 LausanneWEBSITEvu.chuv.chOPENINGThursday 1st June, 6pmSTUDENTS, , , , , , , , , , , Seline Symons, dans le cadre du cours faits et gestes donné par .
OFFLINE n°12 For its twelfth edition, Offline focuses on the critical issues currently traversing the field of art and design, reflecting a desire to produce differently. Whether it s by getting closer to political and social reality, from which artists and designers sometimes feel somewhat distant, or by integrating critiques of patriarchal and post-colonial legacies into the process of elaborating forms, or through a more ethically fastidious relationship with commissions. This twelfth edition of Offline focuses on the critical issues currently traversing the field of art and design, reflecting a desire to produce differently.

Produced by students, it presents the events that have marked a semester – workshops, masterclasses, exhibitions or trips – through interviews and portfolios. Each issue is structured around a thematic dossier, providing an opportunity to examine an issue from different points of view. Finally, reviews of Bachelor s theses complete the picture. Led by Bachelor of Graphic Design students, the artistic direction is designed specifically for each issue, giving the print version its own unique character.

U.F.O.G.O. Wind Turbines – 2023 In 2023, the significant role of renewable energies in tackling the environmental crisis is blatant. In this context, wind power has once again been presented as a promising avenue for regions seeking to transition to renewable energy. However, concerns about their visual intrusion on surrounding environments pose a significant obstacle to their deployment. From a design perspective, this aesthetical factor is not insurmountable. On the contrary, it highlights the need for greater consideration of how we shape these technologies and integrate them into the environment and our lives. This project, completed by 16 MA Product Design Students of ECAL, has set out to explore how wind turbines can fit into natural landscapes and cultures not only sensitively, but beautifully – if we focus on their design. To complete the project effectively, a case study location was required. Fogo Island (Newfoundland, Canada), described locally as "this rock in the battering Northern Sea," was chosen due to its natural beauty, abundant wind, and tight-knit community of approximately 2,500 inhabitants. The island s climate and geography make it ideal for wind turbines. Additionally, Fogo Island is home to Shorefast, a non-profit organization dedicated to building a sustainable, renewable economy for the island. In October 2022, the students and tutors of ECAL visited and immersed themselves in Fogo Island. The project resulted in eight speculative yet practical wind turbine designs, considerately informed by various perspectives. U.F.O.G.O. is a sustainability project grounded in reality, but not limited by what already is.

Frontiere di Sabbia - DRONE WORKSHOP "Frontiere di Sabbia" is an exhibition of the students of the Master of Photography at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, in collaboration with the Biennale dell Immagine di Chiasso.The collection of projects you will see has been created with drones: aircraft originally developed for warfare that have been transformed into civilian and popular forms. In just a few years, these devices have undergone a dizzying technological evolution and achieved considerable commercial success. Used for a variety of purposes - recreational and professional, political and subversive - these “unmanned aerial vehi- cles” can be easily purchased and controlled remotely, like in a video game. The opportunities offered by civilian drones combine with multiple negative con- sequences: the confusion between reality and simu- lation, privacy violations, and the use for illegal and violent actions. From a photographic perspective, drones offer infinite viewpoints for exceptional, vertical, and total vision. Equipped with all-round sensors, they fly autonomou- sly on programmed routes and are able to monitor the territory and its inhabitants. The “Frontiere di Sabbia” exhibition, presented in the Ex Saceba building, a ce- ment factory located a few kilometers from the bor- der, recalls the past of these places where materials were produced to build houses, bridges, and highways, but also walls and barriers. By diverting from prede- termined and automated paths, a new generation of image creators questions us about our perception of our limits: human, political, and technological.
Fantastic Smartphones at Mapping Festival,18–28.05.2023,Geneva Under the spotlight, the Fantastic Smartphones exhibition continues its tour and is presented at the Mapping Festival from May 18 to 28, 2023 in Geneva. The Mapping Festival is interested in the links between art, technology and information in a perspective that questions the place of new information and communication technologies (NICT) in our current societies parasitized by the post-truth phenomenon. Fantastic Smartphones takes part in the festival with a serie of interactive installations developed by the Bachelor Media & Interaction Design students of ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne, investigating in a critical and offbeat way our relationship with our smartphones and the way they influence our daily behaviour.DATES AND SCHEDULES18–28.05.2023 Vernissage 18.05 from 18:00 19-20.05 : 11:00-23:00 / 21-28.05 : 11:00-18:00VENUEMapping Festival, Le Commun, GenevaWEBSITEMapping FestivalSTUDENTS, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , HEAD OF PROGRAMMEHEADS OF PROJECT , TEACHERS, (AATB), Jesse Howard , , , , , , (Moniker)ASSISTANTS, , , , COORDINATION & DEVELOPMENT, , Pascal Ospelt, , SIGMASIX, EXHIBITION DESIGN

Festival HYPER OUEST: Alva Noto s concert,04.05.2023,Auditoire IKEA, ECAL From April 27 to May 7, ECAL will participate in Hyper Ouest festival, which will take place in the municipalities of western Lausanne, and will open its doors for the concert of the German artist Alva Noto. Hyper Ouest festival offers the opportunity to (re)discover the municipalities of western Lausanne through concerts, shows, exhibitions, workshops, walks, and unusual events. On this occasion, ECAL will host Alva Noto s concert. As the founder of "reductionism," his scientific approach to music has made him a reference in the field. The native of Karl-Marx Stadt in Germany founded his label Noton in 1999, which operated for over 20 years in service of minimalism. At the same time, he has collaborated extensively. He covered The Cure, worked with Iggy Pop, and co-signed, with his partner Ryuichi Sakamoto, the soundtrack of Alejandro González Iñárritu s The Revenant. Alva Noto is a builder who works in the interstices between art, science, and sound. His diverse body of work is a journey to the land of minimalist and melancholic ambient music.

Festival HYPER OUEST: HYPER LAB,28.04–07.05.2023,Espace Veillon, Bussigny From April 27 to May 7, ECAL is taking part in Hyper Ouest festival, which will be held in the municipalities of western Lausanne. Bachelors Media & Interaction Design, Graphic Design and Photography students will present the Hyper Lab exhibition in the former Veillon halls. Opening: Thursday, April 27th. Hyper Ouest festival offers the opportunity to (re)discover the western municipalities of Lausanne through concerts, shows, exhibitions, workshops, walks, unusual meetings, and a party venue: Hyper Club. As the festival s heart, the former Veillon halls and their 1600m2 of industrial wasteland become Hyper Club for two weekends of clubbing in this evolving space. It is in this abandoned factory that Bachelors Media & Interaction Design, Graphic Design, and Photography students present Hyper Lab. The immersive exhibition plunges its audience into an industrial atmosphere composed of video sequences projected onto the worn walls of this exceptional place. Created during a week-long workshop, the visual fresco questions the abstract future of the Western district of Lausanne through the prism of all the HYPERlatives. The exhibition will be inaugurated as part of the opening of Hyper Ouest festival, free admission. Then accessible during the clubbing nights at the venue, paid admission.

Unpacking Tschichold s Library,27.04–26.05.2023,Gallery l elac, ECAL From April 27 to May 26, ECAL presents Unpacking Tschichold s Library at gallery l elac. An exhibition in the form of a library presenting the books mentinoned in Jan Tschichold s seminal publication The New Typography (1928). Opening on Wednesday, April 26. Jan Tschichold s “The New Typography” is a critical essay and an operative handbook that paved the way to modern graphic design. It is a game-changing book that still attracts the interest and curiosity of design historians and practitioners after almost a century since its publication in 1928. Yet, it is simultaneously a victim of its own success, and it has to deal with the consequences associated with canonisation. Having reached an almost mythical status, the publication is often taken for granted and rarely questioned or closely scrutinized. This paradox was the starting point of the research project “The Sources of Jan Tschichold s ‘The New Typography ”. Conducted at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne and supported by the Strategic fund of HES-SO, the project reconstructed, collected and contextualized the body of bibliographical sources included in “The New Typography”. On the occasion of the opening on Wednesday, April 26, the conference "Jan Tschichold s "The New Typography": Its Roots and Impact on National Scenes" will be held at ECAL from 9:15 to 18:00.

Hyperlab In collaboration with the HYPEROUEST music festival, ECAL students were given the opportunity to design a visual installation in the room adjacent to the festival s ephemeral club, located on the Veillon wasteland in Crissier. For this project, 1st-year students worked in groups, mixing Bachelors in Graphic Design, Media & Interaction Design and Photography. Their main objective was to create powerful and creative visual sequences around the central theme of "HYPER". At the same time, second-year students in the Graphic Design option enriched this project by developing the exhibition s visual identity. These interdisciplinary collaborations stimulated exchanges and encouraged visual cohesion, connecting the different ideas and reinforcing the "laboratory" and experimental aspect of the project. HYPER, the central subject of this mapping project, is a reflection on the uncertain future of the West Lausanne district. This concept, explored in all its dimensions, led to the creation of visuals in which the elements of abundance, movement and color were brought to their paroxysm. The visual identity developed completes the overall project by producing the exhibition s communication and facilitating transitions between the various visual creations. The exhibition was open to the public in the evenings, alongside HYPER CLUB, over two consecutive weekends. The installation consisted of ten synchronized projections. The sheer size of the space, covering a monumental area of 2 000 m2, created an immersive experience for the public, all enveloped by the music of artist Alva Noto.STUDENTSCandice Aepli, Karim Akel, Rebecca Alfandary, Eve Aybran, Maude Bally, Amélie Bertholet, Coraline Beyeler, Elena Biasi, Valentin Bonzon, Steve Bouillant, Olympe Boutaghane, Delphine Brantschen, Ettore Bruni, Jonas Buxcel, Olivia Capol, Camille Choquard, Léa Corin, Matteo Cortesi, Gabrielle Coué, Alexandra Cupsa, Adel Debabéche, Sacha Décoppet, Emanuele Delpozzo, Mathilde Driebold, Eliot Dubi, Rebecca Dubuis, Marc Facchinetti, Sébastien Follet, Yang Yi Fung, Thomas Gaudin, Morgane Gilliéron, Baptiste Godart, Lisa Grobet, Sofia Grytsiv, Flora Hayoz, Flaurant Kadrija, Yohann Kampmann, Belinda Kiela, Lester Kielstein, Quentin Kohler, Maël Le Guével, Mathias Liniger, Sebastian Lou, Jerome Luginbühl, Fredrik Maag, Emilie Maier, Constance Mauler, Simon Maurer, Delphine Moënnat, Lidia Molina Gonzales, Emilie Müller, Monica Müller, Aryana Noorani, Dorian Pangallo, Océane Pasteur, Paul Paturel, Eliot Pizzera, Luca Reichenbach, Melanie Rengifo, Inès Riber, Luca Riva, Angeline Rossetti, Clément Rouzaud, Adam Saragoussi, Livia Schmid, Ashley Schneiter, Hugo Scholl, Simon Schönmann, Alexine Sierro, Lisa Simoncini, Diego Steiner, Mehdin Talovic, Pierre Teissier, Delio Testa, Baptiste Torrent, Héloïse Tourrenc, Elsa Trummer, Vladislav Tschumi, Cyprien Valenza, Shiny Vallenas, Chloé Vandewalle, Alfredo Venti, Charlotte Waridel, Arnaud Wenger, Kristina Yenza, Cedric Zellweger, Valère Zen-RuffinenPROJECT MANAGERS, SPEAKERS(EUROSTANDARD), (EUROSTANDARD), , ASSISTANTS, , , , , COORDINATION & DEVELOPMENT, , Canas RobertoMUSICAlva Noto: HYbr:ID oval p-dance
Jan Tschichold s The New Typography: Its Roots and Impact on National Scenes,26.04.2023,IKEA Auditorium, ECAL On Wednesday, April 26, 2023, ECAL welcomes scholars from the fields of art and design history and print culture for an international conference aiming to provide a better understanding of the cultural context of Jan Tschichold s book and the typographic movement that emerged from it. Jan Tschichold s essay Die neue Typographie (The New Typography, 1928) is a game-changing book, acclaimed as the curtain raiser of modern graphic design. While it takes the form of a critical essay and an operative manual, its sources have been understudied because of their difficult identification. Yet, The New Typography is simultaneously a victim of its own success and it has to deal with the consequences associated with canonisation. Having reached an almost mythical status, The New Typography is often taken for granted and rarely questioned or closely scrutinized. This paradox was the starting point of the research project “The Sources of Jan Tschichold s The New Typography”. Conducted at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne (HES-SO) and supported by the Strategic fund of HES-SO, the project reconstructed, collected and contextualized the body of bibliographical sources included in The New Typography. This international conference invites scholars in the field of art and design history and print culture to present their research. The conference aims to provide a better understanding of the larger cultural context of Tschichold s book and the typographic movement that stemmed from it. The results of the project will be presented at the conference along with keynote lectures by Dr Paul Stirton, Professor emeritus at Bard Graduate Center, New York, Dr Christopher Burke, Principal Research Fellow at University of Reading, and Dr Julia Meer, Curator of the poster and graphics collection, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg.

Fiction film workshop with Thierry de Peretti The 2022 fiction film workshop was lead by Thierry de Peretti. Head of workshop: Related workshops : (cinematography) (editing) "For the fiction workshop of the second year class that the ECAL film department entrusted me with, I proposed to Camille Anker, Mégane Brugger, Pol Barrelet, Naïla Ebinger, Benjamin Eggenberger, Matteo Friberg, Donika Gashi, Rose Higorom, MariaLuisa Vaz, Hervé Ossent, to think together about the idea of "adaptation". Being myself in the throes of the exercise with my next feature film, adapted from a novel, it was a way to connect in the most obvious way with them. When we talk about adaptation we often think of the novel, but everything can be adapted, a play, a poem, a short story, a film, a part or a few lines of a novel, an article or an interview, a memory, a dream, a text that we have written ourselves. What seems important to me is the way in which one translates, understands, betrays or is faithful. I also asked them to be as economical as possible in the means they used to shoot: few shots, no camera movements, no special effects, no external (artificial) light, as few locations as possible. We were going to work together on what would be some of their first films and I wanted to encourage them to make simple, quick, clean experiments, free from the will to seduce: films of self-taught people. I was deeply touched to see how each one of them took up the exercise, sometimes with an imperious and immediate intuition, other times by taking a steeper and more worried path. Today, ten new, free proposals remain, which in the end care little about the final result. These proposals are all clear and risky, both poetically and technically: they are films behind which we recognize each of the future filmmakers they will be tomorrow."

MASTER FINE ARTS SYMPOSIUM,27–28.03.2023,IKEA Auditorium, ECAL On March 27 and 28, ECAL Master Fine Arts presents a 2-days symposium: The Raving Age. Histories and figures of youth. The symposium is organized as part of the research project The Raving Age. Histories and Figures of Youth, that questions what has come of youth – a conceptual, aesthetic, and political figure that was born with modernity – in the visual arts, popular culture, and the humanities. Conversely, the project addresses what the problematic category of “youth” has brought about in contemporary art and thought and seeks to grasp it as an allegory that will help rethink the “contemporary” through its most lively milieu. These two study days will explore the manifold dimensions of the concept of “youth” as strategic sites to engage with the politics of time and the aesthetic categories of our age. Day 1 will take place in French, Day 2 in English. The Q&A sessions of both days will take place in French and English. DAY 1 - Monday 27 March 9.30am: Welcome coffee 10am: Introduction 10.30am: L innocence de l oeil et le bonhomme-têtard.
