Following residencies in the polar regions, Arctic Music, a 5.1 immersive sound installation, is created. During the post-production, the question arises of how best to conceive the experience of the public within such an apparatus. Yet spatialization enables three dimensions of sound space to be deployed: aesthetic, kinaesthetic, and political. It thus offers a singular experience, potentially opening up the audience to an ecological awareness. - 2023/11

This article presents the first steps in a design research-project aimed at conceiving the clothing object as part of the larger scale of the habitat. Through its proximity to the wearer's body, clothing accompanies his or her movements, taking the form of a back and forth between the home and the surrounding world. To reopen the archetypal garment, we'll study it from the angle of the semiotic established by Anne Beyaert-Geslin in Sémiotique du design, and will complete it with interviews conducted with designers and artists about project practice and innovation. - 2023/11

Thinking of design in terms of resonance, in the sense of Hartmut Rosa, allows us to embrace a non-instrumental conception of the project process. A number of contemporary practices in the field of design involve a decentering movement that resonance requires as a condition of possibility. These decentered practices strive to initiate a different relationship with the world and the otherness that inhabits it, a non-alienated relationship that outlines the contours of an alternative anthropology. The observation and analysis of this decentering, which operates from different perspectives (de-egocentric, de-ethnocentric, de-anthropocentric), contribute to the development of a critical theory of design. - 2023/06

In this article, the aim is to observe and understand the role of form in the processes of exhibiting and promoting archives through the following question: "Does exhibiting archives allow us to constitute and transmit memories? Thus, the communication of archives is built around documents with a complex status necessarily linked to memory. However, the way in which this transmission is formulated plays a central role in the way in which the archives are approached and therefore their memorial content. This article is therefore structured around formal analyses of three models of archival exhibition for the general public: the museum exhibition, the digital exhibition and the publication. - 2024/04

The aim of this article is to reflect on the role of design in the preservation of cultures, in particular by answering the following question : is design a tool for the resistance of cultural identities? Beyond the idea that design is responsible for the crisis of cultural identities, we will see that designers and museum institutions try to respond to this crisis in several ways : first by choosing distance and neutrality, then by taking sides and putting forward a radical approach in the presentation of culture. - 2024/04

Woven reproductions of paintings, productions of the textile industry between the french cities of Lyon and Saint-Étienne, are popularized in the 19^th century. Contextual pictures, from and for a time whose preoccupations might seem distant from us today, they yet immediately resemble classical painting, print, photography and digital imagery. By confronting the fine arts and programming, these images refuse any hasty categorization. Their existence raises the issue of technical reproduction: is the painting lost in its weaving? Is it kept in its multiplication? - 2022/12

On the 15th, 16th and 17th of July 2021, the Preuve par 7 organised a Summer University in parallel with the Bellastock festival.

Based on the data collection systems set up by three doctoral students associated with the EFF&T Chair, we will offer a critical review of the perspectives outlined during these three days. - 2022/04

In this research, we need to understand the impact of the “kitsch” in the creation of luxury objects. This industry faces a growing demand, induced by the need to get out from a painful life through some objects that’s bring an extract soul.

The exhibition has always raised the question of visibility, but it now does so in a context of widespread exposure. Therefore, if the "why" and the "where" to exhibit are debated, we are interested, within the society of the spectacle, more particularly in the question of its "how". This article therefore questions our current means of exposure. - 2021/11

Originally born out of a need for freedom and emancipation and used to differentiate themselves, trends today are considered to homogenize. In order to understand where this change in relationship comes from, it is a question of immersing oneself in the vast and complex mechanisms of the appearance and the diffusion of the trends. Are trends an object of creative formatting ? - 2020/12

Train stations are nowadays becoming a central space in our cities, and a central space in our lives too. The flows of users experience it on a daily basis, we even have a french expression for it : it’s named « train-train » (« train » being the same word in english). The train, in both languages, represents speed, progress, adventure and other symbols. However, our expression echoes to a recurrence, something boring, some kind of deficiency in the daily experience, an attention which prevents the flows that pass through the station every day from getting through. Should the flows define the identity of the train stations ? - 2020/12

This article goes back to *Fixer le flux, de l'écran au cadre*, a Master’s thesis specialized in « Design, Arts, Médias ».

Since the birth of design, we have used many words to describe designers such as technicians, coordinators or mediators. This article examines the figure of today’s designer through the subject of humans and synanthropic animals coexistence. Our analysis is based on Lyon and various projects existing in the city. This investigation will lead us to a deeper understanding of the place and the role of designers in complex issues. - 2020/12
