Three scientists discuss the challenges of space research, the latest discoveries, and imaginary worlds.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didier_Queloz\">Didier Queloz</a>, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of exoplanets, speaks with <a href=\"http://blue-shift.co/\">Camille Bonvin</a>, a cosmologist, and <a href=\"http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violaine_Sautter\">Violaine Sautter</a>, a planetary geologist and member of NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance missions. The conversation, centered around a thermos, camping mugs, and a picnic, draws a connection to Ray Bradbury’s short story <em><a href=\"http://classicsofsciencefiction.com/2025/03/20/the-million-year-picnic-by-ray-bradbury/\">A Million-Year Picnic </a></em>(1946), part of his *The Martian Chronicles*: a family must leave Earth and finds its own reflection while searching for Martians.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nEven today, the question remains: What do we learn about ourselves when we look at Mars? What kind of life—past or future—are we searching for in space? This film is the result of a collaborative, interdisciplinary creative process that took place at the <a href=\"http://www.vidy.ch/fr/evenement/a-million-year-picnic-conversations-sur-mars/\">Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne in 2024.</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>AFTER THE SCREENING:</strong><br>\r\nFollowing the screening, there will be <strong>a discussion</strong> between director <a href=\"http://www.paulinejulier.com/\">Pauline Julier</a> and <a href=\"https://www.vidy.ch/en/artist/eric-vautrin/\">Eric Vautrin</a>, playwright at the Vidy Theater.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n---<br>\r\n<strong>Biography of Pauline Julier</strong><br>\r\nPauline Julier (b. 1981, Geneva) is an artist and filmmaker whose practice explores the connections humans forge with the world around them through stories, rituals, knowledge, and images. Weaving together documentary, theoretical, and fictional elements, her films and installations reflect the complexity of human relationships with their environments and foster a dialogue between science and myth to renew our perspective on the world.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHis works have been exhibited at major contemporary art centers, institutions, and festivals around the world, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the IAC (Villeurbanne), the Loop Festival (Barcelona), Visions du Réel (Nyon), Wiels (Brussels), the Centre d’Art Contemporain (Geneva), the ZKM (Karlsruhe), Tokyo Wonder Site, the Museum of Modern Art (Tanzania), the Palazzo Grassi (Venice), as well as in New York, Madrid, Berlin, Zagreb, the TIFF Cinematheque (Toronto), and the Pera Museum (Istanbul).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA two-time recipient of the Swiss Art Prize (2010, 2021) and the “Mondes Nouveaux” grant from the French Ministry of Culture (2022), her solo exhibition *Naturalis Historia* toured internationally after its opening at the Swiss Cultural Center in Paris (2017). She presented a major solo exhibition at the Aargauer Kunsthaus in 2024 and is currently completing her first feature-length fiction film, *Les Indes*, scheduled for release in the fall of 2026.<br>\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-03T16:18:02", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-28T10:49:06", "link_label": "Programme complet des Culturelles", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Forum Rolex", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20E1%20240", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"http://www.paulinejulier.com/\">Pauline Julier</a>, artiste et cinéaste & <a href=\"https://www.vidy.ch/en/artist/eric-vautrin/\">Eric Vautrin</a>, dramaturge au théâtre de Vidy", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "film, cosmologie, science-fiction", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121699/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/179/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72517, "title": "NO/NC (Normally open/ Normally closed) - Installation", "slug": "nonc-normally-open-normally-closed-installation", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/nonc-normally-open-normally-closed-installation", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33783/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-13", "end_date": "2026-10-13", "start_time": "18:30:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW57136668\"><strong>Opening reception on October 13 at 6:30 p.m. (<a href=\"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/julian-sartorius-concert-rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr/\">with a concert at 7pm</a>)<br>\r\nExhibition on view October 13–24</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe Pôle Culture (VPI) and <a href=\"http://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/accueil/\">Archizoom </a>are collaborating on an installation by the artist duo <a href=\"http://aatb.ch/about/\">Andrea Anner & Thibault Brevet (AATB)</a> that extends Archizoom’s exhibition <a href=\"http://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/do-robots-dream-of-construction-sites/\">Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?</a> and is part of the Les Culturelles festival.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nNO/NC is a new work by AATB featuring <strong>a swarm of inflatable barriers</strong> that move autonomously through the space to form temporary structures and barricades, preventing visitors from moving about and crossing the space freely.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhoever controls and decides where and for whom to build walls also decides how we form a cohesive society—a society cemented by fictitious boundaries—while fragmenting and dissolving those deemed undesirable.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe walls of the installation take on an almost ghostly quality.

They would flood our living spaces with landscapes, selfies, cats, vehicles, and meals scattered as far as the eye can see.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nEvery day, we produce images, messages, and data that we store on servers and in the cloud. But what becomes of this digital output?<br>\r\n<em>White Shadow</em> is a series of photographs created by <a href=\"http://collectif-fact.ch/\">collectif_fact</a> (Annelore Schneider and Claude Piguet). It was produced using photogrammetry, a technology that transforms photographs into 3D models. The images are generated from data sourced from online libraries. The result is a dizzying architecture so pervasive that it erects barriers and isolates individuals from one another. A society is emerging, grappling with media saturation, sensory overload, and a crushing ecological impact. A world is emerging where images have taken over, colonizing and transforming space until they become the only reality still visible.<br>\r\nThis narrative is a metaphor that prompts reflection on our responsibility regarding our daily digital output and its consequences for the environment.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"http://collectif-fact.ch/\">collectif_fact</a><br>\r\ncollectif_fact, founded by Annelore Schneider (1979, Neuchâtel) and Claude Piguet (1977, Neuchâtel), explores the economics of the contemporary image through video and photography, drawing on speculative narratives and fiction.

These exciting developments are accompanied by new fundamental challenges that arise regarding the safety and reliability of these increasingly complex systems due to imperfect learning, system unknowns, and uncertain environments. Statistical tools for uncertainty quantification have gained popularity due to their ability to deal with these challenges. However, their guarantees rely on i.i.d. data, an assumption that is violated when control actions change the underlying data distribution.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this talk, I will provide new insight to design safe controllers under distribution shifts using robust conformal prediction (CP). I will begin by advocating for the use of CP due to its simplicity, generality, and efficiency as opposed to existing optimization-based verification techniques. I will then provide an introduction to CP and summarize existing work that uses CP to design probabilistically safe controllers in dynamic environments. Subsequently, we will look into interactive settings where the system’s behavior may change the environment's behavior, and vice versa. This circular dependency creates an interaction-driven distribution shift that invalidates existing CP guarantees. To deal with this problem, we propose an iterative framework that episodically updates the controller while robustly maintaining safety guarantees by quantifying the potential impact of a controller update on the environment's behavior. We realize this via adversarially robust CP where we perform a regular CP step in each episode using observed data under the current controller, but then transfer safety guarantees across controller updates by analytically adjusting the CP result to account for distribution shifts. Lastly, I will show how these ideas extend to handling policy-induced distribution shifts that arise when using barrier/Lyapunov functions to control uncertain systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong>:<br>\r\nLars Lindemann is currently an Assistant Professor for Algorithmic Systems Theory in the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zürich.

His documentaries address contemporary issues such as the crisis of democracy, the economic crisis, and the rise of populism, using dramatic techniques similar to those found in fiction. Among them, *Connu de nos services* (1997) addresses the scandal surrounding the political dossiers compiled by the Federal Police in the 1970s and 1980s. *Mais im Bundeshuus / Le Génie helvétique* (2003), one of Swiss cinema’s major box-office hits, follows the work of a parliamentary commission tasked with drafting a law on genetic engineering. *The Blocher Experiment* (2013) sparked intense controversy. *Cleveland vs. Wall Street* (2010), about the subprime mortgage crisis, was presented at the Cannes Film Festival (Directors’ Fortnight) and nominated for a César Award in France. His film *The Paris Opera* (2017) was subsequently widely distributed around the world. With this film, which drew more than 200,000 viewers to theaters, Jean-Stéphane Bron won the Swiss Film Award in the Best Documentary category for the third time in 2018. In 2021, Jean-Stéphane Bron released *Cinq nouvelles du cerveau*, a feature-length film that explores various mind-boggling questions related to advances in the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Between December 2021 and May 2022, he filmed the series *Ma rue de l’Ale* for RTS on his own street in Lausanne; the series was a huge hit with audiences.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nExploring reality through the eyes of those who shape it. Jean-Stéphane Bron’s unique art lies not merely in presenting the facts, but in understanding both the people involved and the systems within which they operate—systems that shape their actions.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Partner: <a href=\"http://www.visionsdureel.ch/\">Visions du réel</a></strong><br>\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"image\"><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/\"><img alt=\"Programme complet des Culturelles\" height=\"182\" src=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/LES_CULTURELLES_1920x1080_programme_complet.png\" width=\"600\"></a>\r\n\r\n<figcaption>© 2026 EPFL, Laura Persat</figcaption>\r\n</figure>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-03T18:19:57", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-22T13:55:33", "link_label": "Programme complet des Culturelles", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/les-culturelles-dautomne-2026/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Forum Rolex", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20E1%20240", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/3/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-St%C3%A9phane_Bron\">Jean-Stéphane Bron</a>, réalisateur ", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/fr/les-culturelles/\">Festival Les Culturelles</a> (Pôle Culture VPI)", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/veronique.mauron\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "cinéma, documentaire, jean-stéphane bron", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121711/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72450, "title": "Seminar in Finance", "slug": "seminar-in-finance-19", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/seminar-in-finance-19", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33698/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33698/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33698/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2027-04-23", "end_date": "2027-04-23", "start_time": "11:00:00", "end_time": "12:15:00", "description": "", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-08-26T15:49:59", "last_modification_date": "2026-08-26T15:49:59", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "UNIL, Extranef, room 126", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://ethz.ch/en/the-eth-zurich/organisation/who-is-who/mtec/details.thomas-giroux.html\">Thomas Giroux - ETHZ</a>", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121599/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/105/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/112/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/116/?format=api" ] } ] }
