Six million seven hundred and sixty five thousand, two hundred and one little lines - A workshop by Camille de Dieu and Laurent Novac ( z1 studio )
A playful dive into design and algorithmic art through the creations of Vera Molnár. The workshop will introduce kids to the Processing programming tool and different mediums (plotter, video projection mapping, printing, ...)
Kids will get to take home their creations in the form of a poster and of course will keep the code!
The workshop is open to all levels from little beginners to our already savvy future programmers!
z1 studioCamille de Dieu and Laurent Novac, born in 1986, live and work in Geneva. In 2016, they decided to combine their personal experiences with sound, light and space acquired during the last ten years. Mixing fiction and scientific references in their creations, they engage in research together on the discovery of unreal territories as well as thinking about new life scenarios. Artists and engineers, their projects are showcased in real time, allowing them to anchor their imaginary and future worlds in particular and intimate presents. They create new worlds and sculpt new sonorities, allowing a total immersion in parallel universes.
Camille de Dieu has focused her work on matter and its reaction to different contexts. These creations utilise different techniques and mediums like projection mapping, 3D modeling, ceramic, and light projection. She has exhibited her projects around the world (HEK-Basel, Mudac-Lausanne, Salone del Mobile-Milano, Bam Festival Liège, Swissnex Rio...).
Laurent Novac’s research is mainly into the creation of tools and pieces with a focus on live performance, this with a particular emphasis on graphic rendering and sound creation. His work makes it possible to produce from sound synthesis a material useful in the accompaniment, the takeover and generation of visual pieces. In the last decade he has participated in the creations of installations and audiovisual performances with a worldwide resonance. His works are influenced by artists like Steve Reich, Robert Henke, Joy Division or even Philip Glass, even though they cannot be dissociated from their visual context. As a software engingeer, he also forms part of the team behind the projection mapping software MadMapper.
Camille de Dieu and Laurent Novac are also both guest professors at the High School of Art and Design in Geneva (HEAD).
