DESCRIPTION:Affaires culturelles et artistiques de l'EPFL\, La Maison d'Ai
 lleurs\nBe among the first to experience “White Box\,” the new exhibit
 ion space by the Maison d’Ailleurs\, transplanted to the Rolex Learning 
 Center!\nDuring this Advent time\, the theme chosen is "Christmas in scien
 ce-fiction"\, about thirty images drawn from the fantastic worlds of comic
  books and science-fiction.\nA Santa Claus with blue skin and tentacles\, 
 a super hero filling stockings with toys\, a family in spacesuit celebrati
 ng Christmas on a distant planet... For the past two years\, EPFL’s cult
 ural affairs and the Maison d’Ailleurs have been working together enthus
 iastically to bring you creative exhibitions. One goal of this partnership
  is to show you to what extent surreal science-fiction scenarios tell of t
 oday’s collective imagination – the imagination through which we inter
 pret the world we live in. Yuletide festivities in interstellar space in t
 he company of little green men remind us that Christmas celebrates the com
 munion of all beings – a message that can be read into a picture of Sant
 a Claus offering gifts to astonished extraterrestrials. Come and appreciat
 e robots dressed in odd attire\, shimmering decorations in which we can co
 ntemplate ourselves\, or aliens filled to the brim of their hoods with gif
 ts. Each and every one of these pictures portrays the reconciliation betwe
 en science and the imagination.Merry Christmas to all of you !
