Description

EPFL aims to translate its research findings into applications through design studies and artworks. The goal of the residency is to explore new ways in which to apply our research results for creative expression. Specifically, they aim to collaboratively create an art piece or design prototype that will be exhibited and publicized in appropriate venues. The residency at GCM can last for up to three months starting in March 2023 at the earliest.

Research conducted at GCM explores the interface of geometry, computation, and making. The scope of the project can be broad but should leverage their research results in a direct way. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
