Amid #deletefacebook, this designer imagined social media as hopeless, deserted motels. Jim Biddulph in conversation with Shahar Livne. With a specific focus on plastic, and the release of our short documentary Materials, Living with plastic this month, it seemed fitting to talk to a designer who has explored the material and speculated upon it’s changing impact.

Jim Biddulph in conversation with Shahar Livne

Israeli-born and Eindhoven based designer Shahar Livne is a graduate of the Man + Leisure program at the Design Academy Eindhoven, a course that challenges it’s students to reengage with the freedom of leisure time and our ability to learn within it. Adopting a mindset that considers the relationship between user, context and materialization, Shahar set about exploring the potential impact of plastic, specifically in the form of Plasiglomerates. Her project Metamorphism envisages a valuable commodity in the form of Lithoplast, a material made up of merged waste plastic and post-industrial waste. Quentin Faucompré.

Floating reflective orbs powered by hot air hover in the historic Grand Palais

Each floating Aerocene sculpture is entirely powered by hot air, requiring zero fossil fuels to stay afloat. The Argentine artist has been working on the project for the past year, fusing sculpture with sustainable design and new technology. Saraceno’s Aerocene prototypes float amongst the Victorian iron and glass domed ceilings of the Grand Palais, an historic architectural gem. Made from thin layers of reflective silver foil and transparent plastic, the Aerocene orbs simultaneously reflect light and the intricate architecture of the Grand Palais’ ceilings.

Plastique fantastique + marco barotti breathing volume.

Résidence de l'artiste Lia Giraud - LIZIERES

Lizières, avec le soutien de la DRAC Picardie accueille en résidence l’artiste Lia Giraud. Résidence en collaboration avec le musicien Mathias Durand Experiementations Vivant/son Cette résidence porte sur la mise en relation d’un système vivant et d’un dispositif sonore. Elle vise à développer de nouveaux types d’interfaces sensibles et symboliques, « variables ». Origines Comment “imager” le son? Comment passer du sonore au visible sans appauvrir ces deux expériences perceptives? Le vivant comme interface perceptive Le vivant peut-être considéré l’interface privilégiée d’une rencontre son/image.

En modifiant les propriétés du milieu dans lesquels ils sont émis, les ultra-sons permettent à certaines espèces marines de communiquer et de se situer dans l’espace.
