Cette collection préserve des micro-organismes provenant de régions menacées telles que les Alpes et l'Arctique et compte déjà plus de 2000 spécimens.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’artiste a sélectionné des levures, bactéries et champignons souvent vieux de 12’000 ans, qu’elle a cultivés dans son propre studio et photographiés tous les deux jours. Les différents micro-organismes sont déposés sur un fond d’agar pour qu’ils puissent se développer. Leur évolution est rapide et hasardeuse. La documentation est méthodique : plus de 13'300 photographies ont été prises représentant des instantanés de matière vivante.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDeux séries de photographies ont été produites : l’une se concentre sur des monocultures, dans lesquelles une souche microbienne sélectionnée occupe une boîte de Pétri et se propage largement. En adaptant les méthodes d'inoculation et les milieux de culture, différentes impulsions sont déclenchées. La deuxième série fait cohabiter plusieurs organismes différents. La lutte pour les nutriments dans le milieu de culture ainsi que les symbioses qui peuvent se développer entre les microbes sont documentées. La pratique d’atelier se mêle à la pratique de laboratoire.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>L’exposition</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’exposition<em> Unearthed</em> présente 18 photographies de plusieurs micro-organismes différents évoluant dans les boîtes circulaires qui les abritent. Filaments, textures, entrelacs, pointillés, cercles produisent des configurations abstraites spectaculaires. Les couleurs enchantent et vivifient les formes en turbulente circulation et en constante métamorphose. Les photographies pointent le sublime de l’extraordinaire variété des cellules : la naissance du vivant.<br>\r\nLes photographies de Rahel Oberhummer révèlent deux nécessités indissociables : d’une part celle de comprendre le vivant même dans ses organismes les plus simples et d’autre part de le préserver. Parallèlement, il s’agit de créer des images qui manifestent la qualité visuelle des formes et des couleurs de ces micro-organismes. Notre rapport à la nature exige l’admiration de sa beauté. Aujourd’hui, des artistes comme Rahel Oberhummer s’engagent dans une double mission : participer activement à des processus scientifiques et créer des images sensibles tout autant que savantes.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Collaborations</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSérie photographique réalisée en collaboration avec l’Institut fédéral de recherches sur la forêt, la neige et le paysage (WSL).

Elle a étudié aussi à la Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhague, à la Hochschule für Kunst und Design de Lucerne et au Billy Blue College of Design à Sydney. Au début de l’année 2026, elle a obtenu une résidence de trois mois à Hanoï, au Vietnam, dans le cadre d’un séjour de recherche soutenu par Pro Helvetia et accueilli par l’espace Exutoire. Elle vit et travaille à Vevey.<br>\r\nLa relation entre les structures sociales humaines et les formes de vie non humaines est au cœur de son approche artistique. Rahel Oberhummer se concentre sur les interactions subtiles entre les humains et l'environnement, avec une attention soutenue pour les écosystèmes dont nous dépendons et que nous mettons pourtant en danger. Des questions se posent, que l'artiste explore à travers une recherche scientifique autant qu’artistique.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\"><strong>>>> Site web de l'artiste Rahel Oberhummer</strong></a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Vernissage</strong> le jeudi 7 mai 2026 à 18 :30 <br>\r\n<strong>Exposition visible jusqu’au 11 octobre 2026<br>\r\nHall du RLC / entrée libre</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Image</u> :<em> </em>Dioszegia patagonica 001, Pochonia/Metacordyceps chlamydosporia 205, Pseudogymnoascus pannorum 511, Potato Dextrose Agar with sepia ink, 2022.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-16T17:17:43", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-26T15:56:40", "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://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\">Rahel Oberhummer, artiste</a>", "organizer": "Pôle Culture EPFL", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">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/120096/", "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/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72214, "title": "Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites? / ARCHIZOOM x CRCL", "slug": "do-robots-dream-of-construction-sites-archizoom--3", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/do-robots-dream-of-construction-sites-archizoom--3", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33494/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33494/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33494/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-09-09", "end_date": "2026-12-05", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>DO ROBOTS DREAM OF CONSTRUCTION SITES?<br>\r\n09.09-05.12.2026<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOpening Tuesday 8 September<br>\r\n6.15pm – </strong>Discussion between Stefana Parascho and Aude Billard, moderated by Pier Vittorio Aureli<br>\r\n<strong>7.30pm –</strong> Opening doors and aperitive<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhat if robots didn’t replace us, but worked alongside us?

The collections thus assembled become true research infrastructures: they provide a unique resource for education and research, accessible to students as well as to innovation communities at EPFL and around the world.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIt was with this goal in mind that EPFL and the <a href=\"http://verbierfestival.com/\">Verbier Festival</a> launched the Verbier Festival Collection project in 2021. 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.

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).

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.

It was previously invited to EPFL in 2017.<br>\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.<br>\r\n<br>\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.).<br>\r\n<br>\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.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Partner: <a href=\"http://usinesonore.ch/\">Usinesonore</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": "2026-09-03T16:34:42", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-28T15:15:03", "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": "Hall SG", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%20094.11", "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=\"https://www.juliansartorius.com/\">Julian Sartorius</a>, batteur<strong> ; </strong><a href=\"https://usinesonore.ch/\">Usinesonore</a>", "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": "musique, concert, batterie", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121701/", "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" ] }, { "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.

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.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe collaboration between the collective and <a href=\"http://applicationspub.unil.ch/interpub/noauth/php/Un/UnPers.php?PerNum=1277309&LanCode=37\">Nathalia Capellini,</a> 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.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>>>> Free admission; <a href=\"http://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ffSBMqP21Y\">light refreshments provided upon registration</a></strong></div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"BCX2 Ltr OutlineElement SCXW196505929\"> \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": "2026-09-03T16:58:47", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-29T18:00:01", "link_label": "Inscription à la collation", "link_url": "https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ffSBMqP21Y", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Hall MED", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==MED%200%2094.22", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Collectif <a href=\"https://hydromondes.org/\">Hydromondes</a> ; Marin Schaffner, ethnologue ; Jeanne Mermet, ingénieure ; Gabriel Cotte, hydrologue et Clémence Mathieu, dessinatrice ", "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": "Léman, corps aquatique, performance", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121705/", "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/79/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api" ] } ] }
