Two concerts:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nKnown for his unique, playful, and highly virtuosic approach to his instrument, internationally renowned drummer Julian Sartorius 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).
\r\n
\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.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nAt 7 p.m. that evening, as part of the opening reception for the installation NO/NC (Normally Open/Normally Closed), co-created with Archizoom, Julian Sartorius will give a solo concert.

\r\nBiography of Julian Sartorius
\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.
\r\n\r\n

\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.
\r\n 
\r\n\r\n
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.

\r\nUsinesonore
\r\nThe Usinesonore association shares its passion for music by promoting it through various activities in the Canton of Bern and beyond. It was previously invited to EPFL in 2017.
\r\nFounded in 2006 by Julien Annoni and Olivier Membrez, two young Bernese Jura natives passionate about contemporary music, the Usinesonore association organizes events centered on today’s music.
\r\n
\r\nThe association’s activities focus on three main areas: organizing the Usinesonore Festival, the Ensemble We Spoke, and organizing parallel events (traveling concerts, custom-designed events, outreach activities, etc.).
\r\n
\r\nEach event is shaped by careful consideration of how to share it with the audience. Usinesonore devotes all its energy to ensuring that the audience can experience the artistic moment, that they do not leave indifferent, and that they feel heard and supported throughout their experience.

Achieving net-zero transport requires coordinated action across energy carriers, carbon flows and mitigation of other pollutants. This talk presents a multiscale engineering framework for sustainable mobility, organised around three complementary pathways: fuel development (F), greenhouse-gas management (G) and mitigating harmful emissions beyond CO2 (H). First, using solar-driven CO2 conversion as an example, I will show how the precise transport of light, heat and fluids enables the coordinated design of materials, devices and systems, maximising solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency. Second, I will explore on-board carbon capture for road and maritime transport, together with distributed carbon-removal networks that use existing vehicles, ventilation systems and transport infrastructure. Third, I will discuss particulate matter generated by brake and tyre wear, illustrating how materials engineering can balance filtration efficiency, pressure drop and energy demand. Finally, the talk considers how techno-economic assessment and the interplay between technology, business and policy can move laboratory innovations towards industrial deployment.

Opening reception on October 13 at 6:30 p.m. (with a concert at 7pm)
\r\nExhibition on view October 13–24
\r\n
\r\nThe Pôle Culture (VPI) and Archizoom are collaborating on an installation by the artist duo Andrea Anner & Thibault Brevet (AATB) that extends Archizoom’s exhibition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites? and is part of the Les Culturelles festival.
\r\n
\r\nNO/NC is a new work by AATB featuring a swarm of inflatable barriers that move autonomously through the space to form temporary structures and barricades, preventing visitors from moving about and crossing the space freely.
\r\n
\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.
\r\n
\r\nThe walls of the installation take on an almost ghostly quality. They are constantly changing, continually shifting. It seems as though today they possess a will of their own, a form of autonomy, their own logic, and their own survival instinct.
\r\n

\r\n
\r\nWhat if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us? Robots are capable of assembling, analysing, experimenting and learning from their mistakes. Could they take on construction work without replacing human labour? Research carried out by the CRCL – Lab for Creative Computation at EPFL explores a form of collaboration between humans and machines that departs from the traditional promise of automation. It opens the way to more inclusive building sites and non-standardised, more environmentally friendly architecture that goes beyond the mere logic of replacement and productivity.

\r\nThe EPFL Sustainable Labs team is pleased to welcome you to its recurring \"Sustainable Labs: Get Involved\" sessions. Held every week, alternating between Tuesdays and Thursdays, these sessions provide an opportunity for laboratories, platforms, centers, and units to receive guidance and support on implementing more sustainable laboratory practices.
\r\n
\r\nThe Sustainable Labs initiative is part of EPFL's Climate & Sustainability Strategy 2030, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 40% compared to 2006/2019 levels and achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
\r\n
\r\n→ Learn more about the EPFL Sustainable Labs initiative.
\r\n
\r\nResearch activities are a key lever for achieving these ambitious goals. However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the EPFL CO₂ Calculator, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.
\r\n
\r\nFrom October 8 to December 17, 2026, the Sustainable Labs: Get Involved sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the EPFL CO₂ Calculator. This tool enables laboratories, platforms, centers, and central units to estimate their carbon footprint, identify major emission hotspots, and support informed decision-making to reduce their environmental impact through targeted actions.
\r\n
\r\nHere are the planned sessions : \r\n\r\nSessions can be held in English and/ or French depending on the participants. 
\r\n
\r\n→ Please register here. For physical sessions, standing lunch will be provided!

The Hydromondes collective invites the EPFL community to explore the relationship between science and the bodies of water that surround us, in an artistic and festive setting.
\r\n
\r\nOn stage: 
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nThe event, which could be called a “festive gathering,” is a mix of performance, lecture, and debate. It consists of three parts: 
\r\n 
\r\n\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. The first part presents the scientific, artistic, and sensory content developed by the Hydromondes collective to put ourselves in the shoes of Lake Geneva—a living entity—in order to understand the paths water takes through our bodies, through the pipes and faucets at EPFL, and more broadly throughout the region.
    \r\n\t 
    2. \r\n\t
  2. The second part is an opened discussion with the audience to gather testimonies, questions, and reflections on the issue of water stewardship, particularly in light of current and future socioeconomic challenges and climate disruptions.
    \r\n\t 
    3. \r\n\t
  3. The third part gets us moving to “stir up our waters,” drawing our attention to the health of Lake Geneva and all bodies of water. A mix of texts, live drawings (using water from Lake Geneva), and music turns this moment into a festive gathering.
    4. \r\n

\r\nThe Hydromondes Collective
\r\nFor the past two years, the Hydromondes collective has been developing a research-creation project on Lake Geneva as a living entity, engaging with scientists, managers, activists, and artists from the Lake Geneva region to attempt to paint a dynamic portrait of this lake on which we depend—particularly through the waters that flow through us. The collective employs sensory cartography, creates drawings and texts, and composes music. On June 12 and 13, 2026, the Lake Geneva Bioregional Assemblies took place at the Vidy Theater, during which Hydromondes brought together a myriad of Franco-Swiss collectives to create a cross-border community dedicated to the care of the waters.
\r\n
\r\nThe collaboration between the collective and Nathalia Capellini, a historian at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and instructor in the EPFL’s SHS program, gave rise to the performance *Le Léman Cyborg*, presented on May 7, 2026, as part of the *Culturelles de printemps* festival. Nathalia Capellini’s course titled “Infrastructures” had fueled the project. This collaboration between the collective and the academic community will therefore continue for the Culturelles in October 2026, with a more participatory format—somewhere between an artistic presentation and a town hall meeting—in a playful atmosphere.
