09.11 – 16.11.2023Throughout November, mudac will present a series of events looking at technology in the face of climate change.
Lecture by artist Joanie Lemercier and Juliette Bibasse
Thu 09.11.2023
18:00-19:30
Featuring Joanie Lemercier, visual artist and climate activist, and Juliette Bibasse, independent curator and co-director of the studio.
Much of Joannie Lemercier’s studio practice is inspired by nature and reflects the representation of the natural world through mathematics, science and technology. Abstract environments rendered in refined grids, lines, shadows and volumes give way to majestic landscapes assembled from these same minimalist forms.
Lancement de l'installation View from the Moon
Thu 09.11.2023
19:30
Facing the mudac, on the façade of the MCBA, the viewer sees the luminous silhouette of a star. The image seems familiar: a perfect sphere, it must be the moon. And yet, he discovers details of craters, irregularities made of fine shadows and reliefs, he recognizes the contours of continents, seas and oceans that are also familiar to him. What remains are traces of disasters, the monochrome revealing the absence of an atmosphere and the disappearance of oceans. The projection will run until November 30.
Potential Cartography workshop with the Terra Forma project
Sun 12.11.2023
14:30-17:30
Terra Forma explores our own planet as a terra incognita, reinterpreting traditional cartography to offer a new perspective on our home environment. Using concepts from the Earth sciences and contemporary ecology, Terra Forma invites political reflection on issues such as erosion, resource depletion and accelerated urbanisation. Axelle Grégoire, one of the authors of Terra Forma, will offer a cartography workshop to rethink the representation of the Lausanne basin using these new cartographic tools.
World Game workshop with Fragmentin
Thu 16.11.2023
17:30
How far are we prepared to go to optimise the management of the entire planet ? Fragmentin’s G80 installation speculates on a global management system for planetary problems by bringing together different types of intelligence around a control console. The presentation of the installation will be followed by an introduction to the history and ambitions of total design and a workshop/debate. A web interface has been created for the occasion, containing the fundamental variables of the work, but also allowing new ones to be added and the surface to be extended.
