EPFL is a regular guest at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and is heavily involved in the digitalization of the Festival’s vast concert archives. Now, it’s EPFL’s turn to be the host. As a delightful prelude to the 2016 opening of the Montreux Jazz Café in its new Under One Roof project, EPFL will present some of the festival’s gems in the Rolex Learning Center.
Opening event on Wednesday, March 11, at 6:00 p.m.
- Possibility for the public to discover and browse all the concerts actually scanned by EPFL on an iPad application (75 % of 5000 hours videos)
- Several models of SounD Dots – in the main entrance: loudspeaker arrangements that project very high-quality directional sound and are connected to the iPad tablets that let users browse the Jazz Festival’s archives.
- I.AM project - located at the main entrance: visitors can virtually experience an immersive audiovisual walk through the reconstructed Montreux Casino of 1971.
- Projection of select concerts from the Montreux Jazz Festival: watch and listen to them in the White Box in the Caféteria Klee.
- Some Montreux Jazz Festival posters. Since 1967, the Festival has given Swiss and international artists free rein to define the event’s international image. Niki de Saint Phalle, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean Tinguely, are some of the prestigious artists that have left their mark on the Festival’s posters.
Opening event on Wednesday, March 11, at 6:00 p.m.
