DESCRIPTION:Josua Putzke and Alison Martin\nOpening: Thursday\, 17 October
 \, at 6:00 p.m. in the presence of the artists.\nExhibition from 18 Octobe
 r to 9 November.\n\nEnter the Hyper-Scientific is delighted to announce th
 e joint opening of exhibitions presenting the works resulting from intensi
 ve collaborations between resident artists Josua Putzke and Alison Martin\
 , and the EPFL Geometric Computing Laboratory directed by Prof. Mark Pauly
 .\n\n-----------------------\nJOSUA PUTZKE\, Aetherocohedron\, 2024\nCommi
 ssioned and produced in the framework of EPFL - CDH Artist in Residence Pr
 ogram 2024\, Enter the Hyper-Scientific\nPartners: EPFL Geometric Computin
 g Laboratory\n\nImmersing visitors in a dynamic environment\, Aetherocohed
 ron is a kinetic installation that offers an intuitive understanding of th
 e concept that all elements and forces in the universe are fundamentally l
 inked\, constantly transforming while maintaining a coherent structure. \
 n\nIts exploration of geometric forms in a synergistic system of entangled
  elements generates a powerful symbol that gestures toward ancient wisdom\
 , mathematical principles\, and modern concepts of interconnectedness and 
 transformation. Aetherocohedron serves as a bridge between the tangible an
 d intangible aspects of reality—a bridge from which we can visualize and
  contemplate the fundamental nature of the universe.\n\nJosua Putzke is a 
 designer and artist. Fascinated by the interface between the human mind an
 d our mechanical reality—between the organic and the technical—he uses
  a variety of materials\, machines\, geometries\, and mechanics to explore
  models and ideas. He completed a degree in product design at the Berlin U
 niversity of the Arts\, learning digital design and production tools as we
 ll as science\, philosophy\, and design history.\n\n----------------------
 -\nALISON MARTIN\, el.ba\, 2024\nPartners: EPFL Geometric Computing Labora
 tory\n\nAlongside their use in constructing spaces\, textiles can form spa
 tial structures that reveal relationships between shape\, material\, and f
 unction. el.ba is a sculptural exploration of how flexible beams and elast
 ic fabric can create a complex\, curved minimal surface through a delicate
  balance of forces. It aims to transport the viewer’s gaze to a new pers
 pective and make mathematical concepts more accessible through physical ex
 perience. \n\nIn architectural and sculptural design\, observing physical
  mechanisms and aspects of softness and flexibility enables a more targete
 d approach to shaping surfaces. This cross-disciplinary and cross-scale co
 llaboration between Alison Martin and the Geometric Computing Laboratory b
 rings together scientific endeavor and artisanal practice. \n\nAlison Mar
 tin studied graphic design and visual communication at Exeter College of A
 rt and St. Martin's College of Art and Design. Her work involves analyses 
 of geometry and topology in traditional weaving patterns and takes various
  perspectives on the dynamic dimensions of fiber entanglement\, interlacin
 g\, braiding\, and classical weaving. \n \n\n© 2024 EPFL\n\n\nEPFL-CDH A
 iR Program Enter the Hyper Scientific: \nInitiated by the EPFL College of 
 Humanities (CDH)\, amplified by EPFL Pavilions\, and in partnership with t
 he City of Lausanne\, the EPFL-CDH Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program Enter
  the Hyper-Scientific reflects the CDH mission of fostering transdisciplin
 ary encounters and collaborations between artists and EPFL’s scientific 
 community. The program invites professional Swiss and international artist
 s for three-month residencies to realize innovative and visionary projects
  at the intersection of art\, science\, and advanced technologies.\n\n \n
