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. Their works have been exhibited at institutions such as the Maison européenne de la photographie (Paris), the Centre d’art contemporain (Geneva), the Swiss Cultural Center (Paris), the Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, the Lianzhou Foto Festival, the Metropolis Art Center (Beijing), and the Fotomuseum Winterthur. They recently received the Landis & Gyr residency in London, the New Point of View Award from This is Short (European Short Film Network), and the Best Short Film Award at the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA). They are represented by Galerie Wilde in Geneva.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTheir works—videos, photographs, and installations—are part of the following collections: the City of Paris Municipal Contemporary Art Fund, Haus der Elektronischen Künste, Basel; the Lyon Museum of Contemporary Art; the Federal Office of Culture, Bern; the Fotomuseum Winterthur; the Neuchâtel Museum of Art and History; La Chaux-de-Fonds Museum of Fine Arts, Geneva Municipal Contemporary Art Collection, Geneva Cantonal Contemporary Art Collection, Museum of Communication, Bern, Visual Arts Collection, City of Biel, and Sion Art Museum.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"http://collectif-fact.ch/\">> Collectif-Fact website</a><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": "2026-09-03T17:54:09", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-07T14:13:26", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Hall du Rolex Learning Center", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20G1%2094.12", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://collectif-fact.ch/\">collectif_fact</a> (Annelore Schneider et Claude Piguet)", "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": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121707/", "category": { "id": 5, "code": "EXPO", "fr_label": "Expositions", "en_label": "Exhibitions", "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/145/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71376, "title": "EPFL Latsis Symposium 2026: “Decoding the Cell: Modeling, Predicting, and Engineering Cellular States”", "slug": "epfl-latsis-symposium-2026-decoding-the-cell-model", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/epfl-latsis-symposium-2026-decoding-the-cell-model", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32724/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32724/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32724/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-29", "end_date": "2026-10-30", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<div class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\">The <strong>EPFL Latsis Symposium 2026<em>: “Decoding the Cell: Modeling, Predicting, and Engineering Cellular States”</em></strong> will be held on <strong>October 29-30, 2026</strong>, at the <strong>Olympic Museum in Lausanne</strong>.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis international gathering will bring together leading scientists in single-cell analysis, computational modeling, and cellular engineering to explore how recent breakthroughs in multi-omics technologies, predictive algorithms, and synthetic biology are reshaping our understanding of cellular function.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThrough interdisciplinary talks and discussions, the symposium will spotlight advances in single-cell multi-modal data integration, predictive modeling of cell identity and behavior, and the engineering of synthetic cell states.

A prominent rupture mode is self-healing slip pulses, which feature a finite slipping zone. The physics of slip pulses is qualitatively different from their expanding crack-like counterparts, as they involve the interplay between leading-edge contact breakage and trailing-edge re-strengthening (healing). The latter is intrinsically related to generic properties of frictional interactions at contacting interfaces, absent in ordinary fracture of bulk materials. In this talk, I will review a recently developed theory of two-dimensional slip pulses, which revealed intriguing dynamical properties of slip pulses and provided extensive predictions for their spatiotemporal evolution. The theoretical predictions are supported by large-scale numerical simulations and, more recently, by extensive laboratory experiments. The implications and potential applications of the theory will be discussed as time permits. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong>:\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2309374120\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in new window\">The dynamics of unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [PNAS 120, e2309374120 (2023)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X26000142\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">An equation of motion for unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [EPSL 678, 119831 (2026)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.26065\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">Lab earthquakes confirm the theory of frictional slip pulses</a> [arXiv:2608.26065 (2026)]</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography:</strong><br>\r\nEran Bouchbinder is a Professor at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.

The bar for safe decision-making rises as these systems enter safety-critical, real-world settings where they must perform well under uncertainty. Our work shows that physicality is a resource against the two kinds of uncertainty they face: intentional (or adversarial), where data is manipulated by malicious agents, and natural, where aspects of the environment are simply unknown. Most of this talk concerns intentional uncertainty. Here, one way to exploit physicality is by using communication as a sensor. Because the signals robots exchange are difficult to forge, they carry evidence that can be cross-validated to yield a quantifiable likelihood that an agent's data is trustworthy. This is the foundation of cy-trust, in which stochastic observations of trust model an agent's trustworthiness probabilistically from physical rather than cryptographic evidence. Each neighbor's contribution is then weighted by its trust value. Under this framework, we show that consensus, distributed optimization, and other core coordination tasks admit almost-sure convergence with bounded deviation from their nominal performance, even when malicious agents exceed half of a node's connectivity, past the classical Byzantine bound. We support this finding with both theory and hardware experiments under adversarial attack. Against natural uncertainty, we show that real-time sensing can be folded into rollout-based reinforcement learning, where the same machinery reweights futures rather than neighbors. We apply this idea to routing a fleet of robots to stochastically appearing demand and, with Project CETI, to the first autonomous robotic rendezvous with sperm whales at sea. Finally, we preview some of our future work combining trust with long-horizon sequential decision-making, targeting planning that stays provably resilient when the data informing the plan may itself be corrupted.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Stephanie Gil is the John L.
