This installation explores a new social contract with autonomous, intelligent systems (4.0) — one built on convincing, not controlling, machines. As you approach, the machine may choose to interact with you, or it may be too busy having fun on its own. It gets to decide. This work asks what it means to share a world with technology whose trust we may need to earn first.","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-08-03T09:25:54","last_modification_date":"2026-08-03T09:25:56","link_label":"Plus d'informations","link_url":"https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/scientastic-2/","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"Archizoom","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%201212","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"Madeline Gannon","organizer":"Archizoom, Scientastic","contact":"Cyril Veillon, Solène Hoffmann","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":"architecture, science, techonology, health, robots, robotics, durability","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121351/","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/32/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/45/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/417/?format=json"]},{"id":72451,"title":"L'Affaire des Méga-constellations","slug":"l-affaire-des-mega-constellations","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/l-affaire-des-mega-constellations","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33699/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33699/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33699/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-11-06","end_date":"2026-11-06","start_time":"20:00:00","end_time":"22:00:00","description":"<strong>L'espace s'invite au tribunal!

The project aims to preserve and promote the festival’s heritage, with the goal of rekindling younger generations’ interest in classical music.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA pioneer since 1994, the Verbier Festival is the first festival in the world to have recorded all of its concerts. This exceptional collection now includes 3,000 hours of audio recordings, more than 1,000 hours of video, 12,000 historical photographs, archival documents, and a collection of annotated sheet music. It serves as a unique resource for research, innovation, and cultural transmission. As part of this collaboration, EPFL students are invited—upon registration and following a selection process—to participate in a master class during which they will draw on part of this heritage to create a musical work, which they will then present to an audience and a jury.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n---<br>\r\n<strong>Partners: </strong>Claude Latour Foundation, Verbier Festival, CHC Platform—Cultural Heritage &amp; Conservation at EPFL, UNIL, Montreux Jazz Café, NAGRA <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; Free admission; <a href=\"http://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/z8TTfURvwX\">aperitif available with registration</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>","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-09-03T14:13:52","last_modification_date":"2026-09-10T14:13:58","link_label":"Inscription à l'apéritif","link_url":"http://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/z8TTfURvwX","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"Montreux Jazz Café","url_place_and_room":"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ART%20C0%20100","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/alain.dufaux\">Alain Dufaux</a>, directeur de la Plateforme EPFL CHC - Cultural Heritage &amp; Conservation ; <a href=\"https://applicationspub.unil.ch/interpub/noauth/php/Un/UnPers.php?PerNum=64542&amp;LanCode=37\">Constance Frei</a>, musicologue, professeure UNIL/EPFL ; <a href=\"https://hem.hesge.ch/la-hem/alumniae/portrait-alumniae/charlotte-graber-musicologue-bibliothecaire\">Charlotte Graber</a>, musicologue HEM, Genève ; <a href=\"https://verbierfestival.com/musician/mcholm-stephen/\">Stephen McHolm</a>, directeur de la Verbier Festival Academy ","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/121682/","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=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=json"]},{"id":72513,"title":"Exploration Journals - Reading the Texts","slug":"exploration-journals-reading-the-texts","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/exploration-journals-reading-the-texts","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33784/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33784/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33784/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-10-12","end_date":"2026-10-12","start_time":"12:00:00","end_time":"13:00:00","description":"<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW195098754\"><strong>THIS EVENT HAD TO BE CANCELED, UNFORTUNATELY<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBy and with the <a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/plume_epfl/\">Plume</a> Association<br>\r\nDuration: 1 hour</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/plume_epfl/\">PLUME</a> is the UNIL-EPFL literature association.

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=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=json"],"speaker":"<a href=\"http://www.paulinejulier.com/\">Pauline Julier</a>, artiste et cinéaste &amp; <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=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/2/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/21/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/179/?format=json"]},{"id":72516,"title":"Julian Sartorius Concert - RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR","slug":"julian-sartorius-concert-rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr-2","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/julian-sartorius-concert-rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr-2","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33782/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33782/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33782/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-10-13","end_date":"2026-10-13","start_time":"12:00:00","end_time":"13:00:00","description":"<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\"><strong>Two concerts:</strong></div>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Tuesday, October 13,</strong> <strong>at noon: <a href=\"https://juliansartorius.bandcamp.com/album/rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr\">RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR </a></strong><br>\r\n\tDuration: 1 hour.<br>\r\n\tWith: Julian Sartorius, Romane Bouffioux, Jeanne Larrouturou, Julien Mégroz et Julien Annoni<br>\r\n\t </li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Tuesday, October 13,</strong> <strong>at 7:00 p.m.: solo </strong><br>\r\n\tDuration: 30 minutes<br>\r\n\tAs part of the opening for <a href=\"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/nonc-normally-open-normally-close-installation/\">NO/NC</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\"><br>\r\nKnown for his unique, playful, and highly virtuosic approach to his instrument, internationally renowned drummer <a href=\"http://www.juliansartorius.com/\">Julian Sartorius</a> will present RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR, a score composed for a percussion ensemble in which “R” stands for right hand and “L” stands for left hand. Played continuously by the ensemble throughout the piece, the motif evolves under Julian Sartorius’s direction as he adapts the instrumentation (adding, substituting, or removing objects or instruments).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nA journey through minimalism, repetition, musical progression, and a deluge of sound. The concert stems from an experiment in which the addition, removal, or modification of basic elements generates new content. It also incorporates playfulness, the freedom to assemble elements, and the surprise of unexpected sound combinations. Much like many scientific protocols, this method—here applied to music—suggests avenues of convergence between scientific and creative practices.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hZ4HRiNTQC4?si=RXzPTogaFJIKH2dK\" width=\"560\"></iframe><br>\r\nAt 7 p.m. that evening, as part of the opening reception for the installation <strong>NO/NC (Normally Open/Normally Closed)</strong>, co-created with Archizoom, Julian Sartorius will give a solo concert.<br>\r\n---<br>\r\n<strong>Biography of <a href=\"http://www.juliansartorius.com/\">Julian Sartorius</a></strong><br>\r\nDrummer, percussionist, and artist Julian Sartorius shapes sounds into unique forms. His precise and rich rhythmic patterns are true explorations of the hidden sounds of found objects and prepared instruments, bridging the gap between organic timbres and the language of electronic music. Julian Sartorius has released numerous solo albums, created audiovisual works, collaborated with musicians, writers, and artists, and performed in everything from intimate venues to festival stages.</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\"><br>\r\nTrained at the jazz schools in Bern and Lucerne under the guidance of musicians such as Fabian Kuratli, Pierre Favre, and Norbert Pfammatter, Julian Sartorius developed a unique musical approach at a very early age. Fascinated by small-scale variations, the interplay of tension and release, density, and vibration, he has created projects such as the 12-vinyl box set *Beat Diary* (Everest Records, 2012), comprising 365 rhythmic pieces accompanied by a book of photographs; the daily series of eight-second loops “Morphblog” (2013–2019); and “Depot,” an audiovisual installation for 16 speakers and 16 screens, presented at the Kunstmuseum in Thun. For his album “Hidden Tracks: Basel – Geneva” (Everest Records, 2017), Julian walked more than 200 kilometers with his drumsticks and recording equipment, playing and capturing a multitude of sounds and textures from objects he encountered along the way.<br>\r\n </div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW167897111\">In recent years, Julian Sartorius has collaborated with numerous musicians, including Sophie Hunger, Sylvie Courvoisier, Gyda Valtysdottir, Dimlite, Shahzad Ismaily, and Dan Carey. His instantly recognizable percussion work also appears on recent albums by Kate Tempest, Matthew Herbert, and James Zoo. Julian Sartorius has toured and performed in North and South America, Asia, and Europe, sharing the stage with artists such as Marc Ribot, Deerhoof, Faust, Jaki Liebezeit, and Arto Lindsay.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n---  <br>\r\n<a href=\"http://usinesonore.ch/\"><strong>Usinesonore</strong></a><br>\r\nThe Usinesonore association shares its passion for music by promoting it through various activities in the Canton of Bern and beyond.
