La Prairie x ECAL collaboration Event
La Prairie x ECAL collaboration

La Prairie x ECAL collaboration,22–25.01.2021,ECAL & La Prairie Instagram As part of the partnership with ECAL, Swiss Luxury House La Prairie  has collaborated with students of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship programme, under the creative leadership of Sabine Marcelis. Gal Bulka from Israel, Paula Chacartegui from Spain, Chia-Ling Chang from Taiwan, Apolline Morel-Lab from France, Fernando Rivero from Mexico, and Charlotte Therre from Switzerland distinguished themselves as part of this collaboration with La Prairie. They were invited to design an object of design that expresses the brand s vision of Swissness – the purity, precision and timelessness inherent to the land of the house s origins. Using materials native to Switzerland, each student expressed a unique interpretation that captures the imagination. Collectively, their works embody an unmistakable Swiss aesthetic and, as citizens of the world, they bring a singular perspective to the notion of Swissness. The result is a combination of sculptural, kinetic, interactive and time-infused works that express diverse and creative interpretations of Swiss aesthetics. The works tell an emotional, immersive story through these installations. The six students and their works will be featured in an Instagram exhibition hosted on La Prairie s page from Thursday 21 January 2021. The winning student will receive a grant from La Prairie to use towards launching their design career. The winning piece will be selected by two parties: by a jury composed of design experts from ECAL and La Prairie and a call for votes from the public over Instagram. The final result will be announced on Monday 25 January 2021.

ECAL at Sculpture Garden, Geneva – Le cours de l'eau Event
ECAL at Sculpture Garden, Geneva – Le cours de l'eau

ECAL at Sculpture Garden, Geneva – Le cours de l eau,18.06–30.09.2020,Parc des Eaux-Vives, Geneva On the occasion of the Geneva Biennial: Sculpture Garden organized by artgenève and the MAMCO (curator of the exhibition: Balthazar Lovay) until 30 September 2020, students in 2nd year Bachelor Industrial Design from ECAL present a Bisse project in the Parc des Eaux-Vives. No doubt you have already walked, or dreamt of walking, along a Bisse in Canton Valais. A Bisse is a historical irrigation channel, many of which run through the idyllic Alpine landscape. Perhaps it was this romantic notion that inspired the National Exhibition of 1896 to recreate and display a “Mazot”, a typical wooden Alpine hut, albeit conveying a rather stereotypical idea of Switzerland. This larch wood hut, which could be considered as a forerunner of the circular economy, has been given a new lease of life for passersby to admire in the Eaux-Vives park. Is it a decorative object? Is it nostalgic? Or maybe folklore? The 2nd year Bachelor Indus-trial Design students at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, under the supervision of programme director Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard and their professor Adrien Rovero, have chosen to recreate the architecture of a traditional Bisse. This construction is also made of larch wood and includes several surprising features, starting with a viewing platform, a map of Lake Geneva, a water mirror and a simple bench to sit and contemplate a basic element: the flow of water. This project brings us closer to nature and makes sense in today s world where traditional values and local sourcing are being revived. Students Gwenaëlle Auvry, Clara Bertière, Théo Blanchard, Thomas Blaser, Lucie De Martin, Elie Eliez, Marine Fondin, Souhaïb Ghanmi, Mariko Ito, Stéfanie Kay, Marina Kottler, Julien Lindt, Manon Novelli, Margot Paquette-Greenbaum, Eugénie Perrin, Julie Racaud, Jillian Reichlin, Luca Scalea, Alan Schopfer, Noémie Soriano, Celestin Tanari, Xiangnan Wu Acknowledgements ECAL Model Workshop: Sandro Bolzoni, Jonathan Bloch, Fabio Della Casa, Bastien Favre, Pascal Ospelt Assistants Amandine Gini, Benoît Chastenet de Gery, Victor Jacquard Landscaper Gaétan Genetti Parc des Eaux-Vives 1207 Genève www.sculpturegarden.ch

ECAL Instagram Live: Jean-Luc Godard,07.04.2020 ECAL Instagram Live: Jean-Luc Godard, fillmmaker, Rolle ECAL Instagram Live: Jean-Luc Godard, cinéaste, Rolle (Suisse)En conversation avec Lionel Baier, responsable du Département Cinéma de l ECAL, sur la thématique «des images en temps de Coronavirus»Mardi 7 avril à 14h30 CEST sur @ecal_ch (https://www.instagram.com/ecal_ch/?hl=fr)A ses débuts critique à La Gazette du cinéma puis aux Cahiers du cinéma, Jean-Luc Godard réalise des courts métrages avant de tourner son premier long métrage en 1959: «A bout de souffle». Ce film devient l œuvre phare du cinéma de la Nouvelle Vague, dont Godard est désormais l un des représentants emblématiques. Les années 1960 sont marquées par une œuvre prolixe («Le Petit Soldat», «Le Mépris», «Pierrot le fou», «La Chinoise»…).Les évènements de Mai 68 confirment un changement dans sa façon de concevoir le cinéma et ses films deviennent des étendards politiques. L advenue de la vidéo engendre la création de grandes séries essayistes, «6X2» et «France, Tour, Détour, Deux Enfants».Métamorphosés, le narratif, les acteurs professionnels, les mythes et archétypes reviennent à partir de 1979 avec «Sauve qui peut la vie», «Détective» et «Prénom Carmen», film pour lequel il reçoit le Lion d or à la Mostra de Venise en 1983. S ensuit une période d investigation expérimentale sur les formes de l Histoire comme «Allemagne année 90 neuf zéro» ou «Histoire(s) du cinéma».Depuis les années 2000, Jean-Luc Godard continue son exploration infatigable du septième art avec «Eloge de l amour», «Film Socialisme» ou «Adieu au langage» (Prix du jury au Festival de Cannes en 2014). Jean-Luc Godard a reçu la Palme d or spéciale du jury au Festival de Cannes 2018 pour «Le Livre d image».(Biographie publiée à l occasion de «Jean-Luc Godard – Parcours Livre d image» au Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers en 2019)ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de LausanneAvenue du Temple 5, CH – 1020 Renens

ECAL at artgenève: INTERFERENCES,29.01–02.02.2020,Palexpo, Geneva INTERFERENCES – Forty-Four Excuses for Participation and a Zero Mario de Vega with BA Fine Arts and Media & Interaction Design students. INTERFERENCES – Forty-Four Excuses for Participation and a Zero Mario de Vega with BA Fine Arts and Media & Interaction Design students A collaborative project between Bachelor Fine Arts and Bachelor Media & Interaction Design students from ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne following a workshop led by sound artist Mario de Vega, visiting professor during the fall semester 2019 at ECAL and resident at La Becque | Artists Residency. Through a conceptual approach to sound, this exhibition proposes a scenario in which the eye takes the role of the ear, and vice versa. Within the notion of “Aural Vision”, the presented works result from a short seminar that served as an introduction to a larger educative experience which aims to extend collaborations between Media & Interaction Design and Fine Arts, using sound as a bridge. The project is based on the 45 definitions of the INTERFERENCES publication. It investigates the ongoing developments of timebased media, taking advantage of its benefits and advances, through a critical perspective. From 29 January to 2 February 2020, from 12pm to 8pm (except Thursday and Sunday 7pm) – Stand D11. artgenève Palexpo Route François-Peyrot 30 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex/Genève http://www.artgeneve.ch Image ECAL/Jimmy Rachez

"Making FASHION Sense" exhibition with ECAL graduates Event
"Making FASHION Sense" exhibition with ECAL graduates

"Making FASHION Sense" exhibition with ECAL graduates,16.01–08.03.2020,HEK, Basel On the occasion of the exhibition " Making FASHION Sense " at HeK - Haus der elektronischen Künste Basel until 8 March 2020, two ECAL alumni presents several projects. This exhibition showcases the radical transformation of fashion through technology. Robot arms and mixed reality, holograms and drones have all paraded down international catwalks. «Making FASHION Sense» focuses on the impact of technology upon creative processes in the fashion industry, as well as on artistic paths leading towards increasing sustainability: Fashion which makes sense. With "BASE" (2019), presented for his BA Media & Interaction Design diploma, the Swiss designer Alfatih introduces a concept of fashion for digital spaces, and thereby an alternative fashion economy. The project includes a collection of filters for Instagram/Snapchat, a series of garments that can be used for avatars in the game Grand Theft Auto, as well as an interactive installation/performance presenting the concept of the brand BASE. “Active Shoes” (2019) by ECAL BA Industrial Design graduate Christophe Guberan belongs to a series of “active textiles”, which uses technology to radically questiontraditional production processes. By printing on stretch fabrics of varying layer thicknesses, he develops self-assembling designs which reconfigure themselves in preprogrammed shapes.

ECAL at the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020 Event
ECAL at the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020

ECAL at the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020,09–22.01.2020,Lausanne On the occasion of the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020 , ECAL particpates in several projects. On the occasion of the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020, ECAL particpates in several projects: --- Design of the cauldron, medal trays and podiums The cauldron, the medal trays and the podiums are three of the most symbolic elements of the Olympic Games. Second-year Industrial Design Bachelor s students from the ECAL were tasked with designing them. The students had to meet certain operational constraints and technical requirements: The cauldron must be able to be supplied with wood pellets, the result of a partnership between several organisations in the Vaud region, including the Lignum Vaud, which brings together all the regional players in the wood sector. This ecological innovation makes this cauldron the most eco-responsible in the history of the Olympic Games. It must also be removable and an integral part of the Games legacy. The podiums would have to be assembled outside at the last minute, often on uneven ground. They needed to be solid, light and large enough for several athletes. The medal trays had to be big enough to hold both medals and mascots. Cauldron Design: ECAL (Bachelor Industrial Design) Student: François Lafortune Production: C-FOR! + Ecole de la construction This cauldron project took inspiration from “freeskiing” culture, seeking to reflect it in both style and substance. Freeskiing is the world of skateparks and snowparks, with which many young people are very familiar. The installation comprises a mini jump and a ramp, with the cauldron placed at the top. The project s designer, François, envisaged that it would be an integral part of the Opening Ceremony and that the cauldron could be lit by a freerider. After Lausanne 2020, the installation is set to be converted into part of a permanent skatepark for the people of Lausanne. Podium Design: ECAL (Bachelor Industrial Design) Students: Louis Bétin + Theo Luvisotto + Estelle Rougerie Production: Ecole de la construction The podiums juxtapose the outlines of three mountain ranges where the competitions are being held: the Jura mountains, the Vaud Alps and the mountains of St Moritz. Plateaux des médailles Design and Production: (Bachelor Industrial Design) Student: Olivia Dall Omo The medal trays have coverings in the colours of the official hat worn by the volunteers. “The outfit is completed by a pair of mittens. So you ll be nice and warm, and all set to go cheer on your favourite athletes!” Mapping of the BodyCity Show Unique creation imagined for Lausanne en Jeux! - the animation program of the Youth Olympic Games Lausanne 2020 - BodyCity is a show where arts and urban sports meet in an impressive open-air setting, on the place Centrale of Lausanne. Five performances will take place in public on January 9, 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2020 at 6 p.m. "Bodies in fusion with the city", it is from this strong image that Nicolas Musin directed BodyCity, a contemporary show questioning the relationship of young generations to the city. On an open-air stage representing a city in constant mutation,more than 50 performers aged between 9 and 30 years will cross their disciplines from January 9, bringing together urban arts and sports suchas skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, scooter, parkour and dance. Imagined within the framework of Lausanne en Jeux!, this show is above all a work of youth carried by art schools and urbandisciplines training centers established in the Lausanne conurbation. BodyCity was thus able to bring together different Lausanne actors such as the students of the ECAL (conception of video images) of the HEMU (composition of the original music and recording of the soundtrack), thedancers of the Ecole-Atelier Rudra Béjart (dance and percussion), JDS Events (hip hop, breakdance) aswell as the riders of La Fièvre and the tracers of X-Trem Move. A meeting between different cultures and disciplines that the director Nicolas Musin has managed to reunite in order to offer a unique and unprecedented show in Lausanne. The mapping of the show was thus created by the students of the Visual Communication Department (BA Graphic Design, BA Photography, BA Media & Interaction Design) under the direction of Vincent Jacquier, Angelo Benedetto, Jean-Vincent Simonet and Mitch Paone while editing was managed by Amaury Hamon and Clément Lambelet.

ECAL at Paris Photo 2019: Brutal 003,07–09.11.2019,Au Roi, Paris To celebrate the Paris Photo 2019 edition, the Bachelor Photography students of ECAL, under the artistic direction of Nicolas Poillot, translated the music of the producer IKAZ BOI into images.

Exclusively, 500 unpublished and numbered vinyl copies were created especially for this occasion. For two days, ECAL invests the Au Roi gallery, inviting spectators to a sound and visual journey, in an ephemeral sensory space generated by a synchronous video installation.
