The paper review five connotations of the verb “to design » and analyze them as an alternative to the notion of "construction" and "fabrication". It then presents the work of Peter Sloterdijk has a crucial contribution to the philosophy of design.</p> Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:04:24 +0000 admin 69 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/145 Actor-Network-Theory Design Ecology & Political Ecology <p>A joint lecture with Peter Sloterdijk to explore the two concepts of “sphere » and of “network”, the paper (in line with 112) shows that there is only an apparent contradiction between the two concepts, contradiction that is maintained only as long as the nature/society trope is maintained. Both concepts act as an alternative definition of space and, although they seem to restrict the expansion of modernism concepts (especially nature), they are in effect the only way to find rooms for the artificial and material conditions of an ecological space.</p> Mon, 03 Oct 2011 09:57:56 +0000 admin 145 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/151 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/151" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Art History Design Digital Humanities <p>Following the marvelous example provided by the fac simile of Veronese’s Nozze di Cana in San Giorgio in Venice and constrasting this case of a good reproduction with the catastrophic restoration of Holbein’s Ambassadors, the paper explores the reason why common sense has so much difficulty with the notion that a fac simile may actually add new layers of originality to the original –contrary to the thesis so much popularized by Benjamin’s essay on mechanical reproduction.</p> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 12:50:14 +0000 admin 151 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/599 Compositionism Design Digital Humanities Ecology & Political Ecology <p>Camila Marambio, a former SPEAP student, and a remarkable artist from Chile, did this interview of BL in Rio which is a good and quick way to review some of the links with arts and sciences and connect with the various artistic projects of the year - especially the simulation of the climate conference that will be run in the Amandiers theatre in the outskirts of Paris in May 2015.

This is the AIME (An Inquiry into Modes of Existence) project. It is an experimental intertwining of analog and digital practices often contradicting the norms and formats they belonged to, thus creating expectations and protestations from different communities of users.</p> Wed, 09 Mar 2016 07:46:48 +0000 admin 672 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/691 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/691" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Art History Design <p>To approach the ancient philosophy of common sense—the sensus communis—we might begin at the beginning by asking: How do we make ourselves actually sensitive? By beginning this way, we can pose the present burning question: How do we make ourselves sensitive to one specific character, an unusual character who has been occupying me a lot lately: Gaïa.</p> Tue, 02 Aug 2016 13:11:14 +0000 admin 691 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/750 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/750" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Design Ecology & Political Ecology History of Science Viualization <p>Foregrounding the importance of soil and more generally the surface of the Earth —what is now often called the Critical Zone (CZ)— remains very difficult as long as the usual planetary view, familiar since the scientific revolution, is maintained. In this joint effort between a landscape architect, a historian of science and a geochemist, we offer an anamorphosis which allows to shift from a planetary vision of places located in the geographic grid, to a representation of events located in what we call a Gaia-graphic view.</p> Fri, 08 Dec 2017 08:10:01 +0000 admin 750 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/806 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/806" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Art History Compositionism Design Ecology & Political Ecology <p>Critical Zones: Observatories for Earthly Politics<br /> ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe<br /> 9.5. &ndash; 4.10.2020<br /> <a href="https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/275052/critical-zones-observatories-for-earthly-politics/" rel="nofollow">Annoucement of the show on e-Flux</a></p> Tue, 09 Jul 2019 07:48:53 +0000 admin 806 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/856 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/856" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Compositionism Design Digital Humanities Ecology & Political Ecology <p>T<a href="https://zkm.de/en/event/2020/05/virtual-opening-critical-zones" rel="nofollow">he thought exhibition &raquo;Critical Zones &ndash; Observatories for Earthly Politics&laquo; </a>about the critical situation of the earth falls through the Corona crisis into a critical time.
