From Solar to Nocturnal | Halos

The exhib­i­tions From Solar to Nocturnal and Halos premiere four new creations: Star­ing at the Sun by Alice Buck­nell, Inter­spe­cies Inter­faces, a two-chapter project by Matthew C. Wilson & Emilia Tapprest, and Atithi by Sahej Rahal, developed in collab­or­a­tion with the scientific community at EPFL. By explor­ing world-build­ing tech­no­lo­gies, AI, and inter­spe­cies sens­ory trans­la­tion, these exhib­i­tions weave a narrat­ive from solar to nocturnal, connect­ing real-world scen­arios with altern­at­ive visions of our rela­tion­ship with the envir­on­ment.

Initi­ated by the EPFL College of Human­it­ies (CDH), ampli­fied by EPFL Pavil­ions, and in part­ner­ship with the City of Lausanne, the EPFL-CDH Artist-in-Resid­ence (AiR) Program Enter the Hyper Scientific fosters trans­dis­cip­lin­ary encoun­ters and collab­or­a­tions between artists and EPFL’s scientific community. The program invites inter­na­tional artists, for three-month resid­en­cies to real­ize innov­at­ive and vision­ary projects at the inter­sec­tion of art, science, advanced tech­no­lo­gies, and the human­it­ies.
