Éditorial n°8
What's the point of an e-zine editorial? To give color to the issue it opens? In our case, it's more a question of unity of tone for issue 8 of _Design, Arts, Médias_, as for all its predecessors. Rereading our magazine's editorials before writing this one, it's basically the critical spirit that, once again, drives our editorial line. But this critical spirit does not go without being propositional. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Thematic Issues
Design et arts plastiques : points de convergence
The history of the visual arts and design reveals both conjunctions and divergences within these two fields. Their objectives are certainly different, but they also share common questions that go beyond a simple opposition between utility and uselessness. This dossier will therefore provide an opportunity to explore the areas where design and the visual arts can engage in dialogue, creating fruitful cross-fertilizations between the methods and processes specific to each field.

Les vulnérabilités à l’épreuve de la sobriété : apports et perspectives pour les disciplines de conception
The increasing scarcity of resources and environmental constraints are having a major impact on design issues. What changes can be made to project design to take account of these vulnerabilities? These new forms of sobriety, far from impoverishing projects, allow them to be deployed in creative or even militant ways, opening up dynamic and lively perspectives.

Glass in contemporary sculpture
Cet article analyse l'utilisation du verre, le processus de fabrication du verre et ses perspectives dans l'art contemporain à travers des exemples d'expressions artistiques diverses et de différents médiums artistiques. Le verre et les techniques associées sont traditionnellement associés aux arts appliqués. Moins connues sont les pratiques artistiques contemporaines qui utilisent principalement le verre dans leur expression. L'objectif de cet article est de questionner ce matériau, ses qualités et son potentiel dans l'art contemporain, en particulier dans le domaine de la sculpture. Une autre question qui se pose est celle de savoir comment les caractéristiques du verre peuvent être interprétées différemment d'un point de vue sculptural, pictural ou d'installation. En conséquence, l'article examine la notion de contemporanéité et les valeurs dans l'art contemporain.

Fast publication : l’homogénéisation visuelle des templates web comme conséquence du prêt-à-publier
Why do web templates look so similar ? Studying the different actors involved in the standardization of templates, we show that templates are now less seen as starting points and more as *ready-to-publish* solutions. Template catalogs focus on the visual aspect of templates so that non-professionals can more easily relate to them. Stock images act as primary design elements and relegates layout and web design editing to mere customization.
