Space and Communication is made by its students, and can take a different form and expression each year. For this inaugural week, we propose that students produce and define their common identity, using their individual and collective skills.  

How do we imagine working together? How to design a unique and organic space adapted to each student's production needs? A space shared and built by, and only by the students? A space that constantly evolves through exchange? Through unity and transversality, we will define the needs and imperatives of collective space and identity.

For this project, we are going to be working with sound in space. We want you to create a sound environment. This environment can be whatever you want it to be, a space, an object, an installation a piece of furniture. The sound can be acoustic or it can be recorded, edited, and montaged together. 

You can act as an agent, operator or performer within your own space. 

The important outcome of the project is that it explores the relationship of sound in space creating an environment which we can all experience.

During this workshop, the students will explore the theme of «inverse» through the creation of an audiovisual installation. 

The exploration will introduce different concepts of complementarity, inversion, and opposition, to define new cosy or anxiogenic spaces. 

The installations created by the students will leverage their skills in using different audiovisual technics such as sound, lights and video projection mapping.

The purpose of this workshop is to guide students into discovering how performance can be used not only as a medium or a tool in their design interventions but also how could it engages and interact with its surroundings and/or public.  

At this stage in the master’s curriculum, the transition between theory and practice is being articulated. Therefore, we have decided to link this workshop allowing the students to extract their critical written thoughts (thesis) into a live act/ action or situation or interaction, or participatory event. It could be live or recorded, spontaneous or scripted, with or without a public. It could be with or without actors. It could be public or private, embodied or delegated, recited, noisy or silent, time-based or timeless, staged or stateless… It can leave no trace. 

Performance has evolved over the years to take multiple definitions and aesthetics in different contexts becoming much more institutionalized. Therefore, along with the students, this workshop aims to open up to these possibilities and guide each student depending on each design practice.

The brief aims to expose the participants to various methods, forms of expression, and production techniques associated with alternative speculative fiction, as a means of expanding their imaginative potential and drawing them into a complex and nuanced conversation about colonialism’s defining of the other and the consequential, sustained, assault such a definition has wrought on beings, on bodies, on places, on consciousness and on imagination.

The central concern, or point, of what we will be doing during this course is looking into the relationship between art and physics. We should emphasize beforehand that (1) such a question is large (too large perhaps) and (2) that, being artists, we come at it from the side of art. Why would the relationship between art and physics matter at all if both can exist separately, and lead separate lives so to speak, without the need to bother one another? There are two reasons at least to be concerned about art and physics today. One is that philosophers and scientists have wondered about the physical substrate of feelings, sensations and impressions that we summarize as our conscious experience. By “physical substrate,” we mean the underlying physical process of conscious experience, and crucially, whether or not the “emergence” of consciousness in bodies involves something that exceeds physics. This question of the physical substrate matters to art because art’s impressions, and the feelings it instigates, are part of conscious experience. There is, inevitably, also debate about how much of our existence involves conscious behaviour and if consciousness is, to an extent, overrated, having long been seen as the exclusive province of human cognition.

Design is an in-betweener materially and conceptually connecting two distinct points in time and space.

Person (mouth)_pea

A person uses their hand to pick up a pea and eat it.

A person uses a ‘tool’_chopsticks, fork, spoon, mother, machine…

A person wants to eat peas every day_cultivates_

freezes_transports_distributes_sells/buys_cooks_uses tool

The choices of how to get from A to B (mouth to a pea) on every single occasion that a decision needed to be made, slowly contributed to the building of the contextual and ideological framework of the possibility that has to be continuously put into question and resolved.

Design as a narrative connection between two points in space and time evokes a “road trip” movie. Those two points are almost irrelevant, they just provide a context… our characters set themselves for whatever aleatory reason to go from A to B, the story is never about the achievement of the goal, but how that goal is achieved, it is not about the arriving but the travelling, in which way is that connection materialised… to the point that the ‘less functional’ the travel, the more interesting reality becomes…

In their pursuit of fundamental questions, art and science largely use different methods, means, and objectives. The focus of this symposium lies on the overlap between the almost ungraspable fundamental processes in physics, and the experimental sites and machines designed and created to render these tangible—and, in essence, offer a shimmering zone of physical proof for their existence.

The philosopher Wilfrid Sellars once proposed a conceptual separation between our impressions of everyday reality—which he called the “manifest image”—and the underlying fundamental process of that reality—which he called the “scientific image.” Regardless of whether we agree with Sellars (or with any dualism, including mind-body, conscious-unconscious, etc.), it is possible to conceive of bringing the two together: there are instances when scientific images do become manifest ones. For example, when, ten years ago in 2012, the existence of the Higgs boson was confirmed by groundbreaking experiments at CERN in Geneva, the subatomic particle in question did not show up as a picture, but as a statistic incident: a slight bump in a graph. The Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator ever built, was designed to obtain this as part of a broad research programme to advance our understanding of the universe we live in. Indeed, ever-more elusive fundamentals need ever-more ambitious machines and structures: in 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope—a global network of synchronized radio observatories—rendered the first composite image of a black hole. Similar to Higgs’s discovery, such an achievement, in equal parts science and art, bridges two ideas of the observable world and brings them together.

In 2020, Arts at CERN and HEAD—Genève, with Metahaven, co-organized the symposium Re: View from Nowhere, bringing together physicists, theorists, artists, and curators.  Fundamental is its successor, jointly organized with Kunsthall Trondheim.

Daniel Tapia Takaki is a high-energy nuclear physicist and associate professor of physics at the University of Kansas. He obtained a PhD in Physics from the University of Birmingham, UK and has been a CNRS/IN2P3 researcher at the University of Paris-Sud, France. He has worked for the ALICE and CMS collaborations at CERN’s Larger Hadron Collider, studying strong gluon fluctuations in the proton and lead nuclei to understand Quantum Chromodynamics and to determine the initial state of ultra-relativistic protons and ions at high energies. For his research funded by the Department of Energy, he has utilized the strong electromagnetic fields produced in multi-peripheral collisions instead of ordinary hadronic collisions. More recently, he has studied applications of quantum mechanics in collider physics, including quantum tomography, to measure quantum entanglement and other quantum mechanical effects.

He has worked with artists in collaboration with the Arts at the CERN program and the Spencer Museum of Art. He is currently collaborating on an Interdisciplinary project with artist Janet Biggs. He also engages in conversations with artists in residence at CERN, more recently with artist Erich Berger.

He is also leading the coordination of the Inter-American Network of Networks of QCD challenges, a new initiative funded by the National Science Foundation to accelerate the process of scientific discoveries in the physics of strong interactions.

The connection between the past and the present is broken, the only thing left is a series of photographs from which to reimage, workout, and reconstruct a past. Positioned between a detective and a dreamer’s world, we need to discern what is contained within the images by reconstructing those objects and contexts never experienced before.

If the ways in which we make sense of the world are based on our personal experience and memory… How do we work out any context, any behaviour, any object when we are not familiar with what is depicted?

Working from photographs of the Per Amor A L’Art Collection participants take a role between that of a detective and a dreamer to produce materialisations, interpretations and translations of what is depicted in the images. This section opens with a collection of 3D printed objects produced by the students of the master Space and Communication at HEAD—Genève. 

During this workshop, an archive of 28 objects was 3D printed. These objects are exhibited in Room 6 under the title RE-COLLECTIONS as part of the exhibition “Earth, a Retrospective”, curated by El Ultimo Grito with Fundació Per Amor a l’Art Comunidad de la Comunidad Valenciana for the World Capital of Design Valencia 2022.

The exhibition is held in Bombas Gens from 07.07.2022 to 04.06.2023. Due to the success of the exhibition, the closing date has now been extended a further 6 months till the end of 2023.

With the occasion of the inauguration of the new building, the MA Space and Communication will present a space that is representative of the work produced in the master:

MA Space and Communication is an experimental graduate design program that through enquiry-driven practices, explores the collisions and intersections of objects, film, performance, media and space as interfaces for communication and experience.

In Kinema 2022 the space, a cluster of 8 interconnected kinematic installations, will be the interface for the interpretation, communication and experience of a selection of films produced by our students over the years that highlight the projects that have come to define the master.

Each of the 7 kinematic installations performs a different format thus demonstrating how the design of the space, the screen, sound, etc, mediates the experience of a film. Each installation expresses the character of its content.

Cette année, notre territoire d'accueil pour le workshop est le Massif central et plus particulièrement la ville de Clermont Ferrand.

Clermont Ferrand et son territoire préparent sa candidature pour devenir Capital européenne de la culture en 2028.

Grand comme l'Autriche ou le Portugal, le Massif central s'étend sur 85.000 KM2 et est le plus vaste massif montagneux français. Il est composé d'une mosaïque de paysages, qui constitue un formidable patrimoine naturel et culturel.

Le concept qui se dessine pour le projet Clermont Ferrand 2028 s'articule autour d'une alternative territoriale, celle d'un développement à échelle humaine, d'un village métropolitain au mode de vie doux et convivial, où les pôles urbains sont fortement imbriqués à leur environnement naturel.

Avec quatre axes qui servent de colonne vertébrale pour la recherche de projets:

• Une métropole de la proximité et du bien vivre,

• Une identité naturelle forte entre eau et volcan1

• Un dialogue incarné entre l'urbain et le rural,

• Un héritage ouvrier revendiqué pour une mue industrielle innovante et durable.
