Come take part in a novel conversation between students and researchers whose practices span the fields of art, architecture, engineering and philosophy.
How to think together ecology and technology? The objective of the round table is to go beyond dualities, to open anew thinking and agency processes to societal and environmental challenges that are constantly growing. What roles can the senses, the digital, built environments, sensors and person-machine interaction play? In the gathering of the participant’s practices, devices, artefacts, gestures, and physical environments question these concerns. In a spirit of sharing, this event promises to be stimulating by bringing together actions and reflections under productive tension.
The roundtable stems from a study day with the participants held at the Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement and a special collaboration with the Programme d’intégration des arts et de la culture (PIAC) of École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS).
