The AgroParisTech Disputes: Invisible animal
6pm-8pm - Amphi Dorothy Hodgkin
Synthetic meat, vegetable substitutes for meat... New technologies are emerging as solutions to several major issues: livestock farming as a major emitter of greenhouse gases, and the issue of animal welfare.
The "French FoodTech" intends to impose itself as a key player in our new eating habits. But is the problem the meat or the factory?
- Jocelyne PORCHER, a sociologist at the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), has worked on the suffering of employees in large-scale livestock farms and industrial slaughterhouses, hidden from view. She defends the vision of a new contract to be built in our relationship with animals.
- Gilles TRYSTRAM is a researcher in food and ten years at the head of AgroParisTech. He has seen the question of our relationship with meat and the food industry gradually impose itself in the public debate.
Launch of the event "Exploring the invisible
8.15pm-8.45pm - Grand Amphi
Sylvie RETAILLEAU, President of the University of Paris-Saclay, and Pierre-Paul ZALIO, President of the ENS Paris-Saclay, launch the event highlighting the importance of the encounter between research, creation and training at the heart of the ENS Paris-Saclay and the University of Paris-Saclay.
Installations, projections, immersive events
Passengers
Immersive, sound and light installation by Guillaume Marmin
La ligne rouge
Interactive behavioural installation by Filipe Vilas-Boas and Guillaume Hutzler.
Production: SIANA / Diagonale Paris-Saclay – Scène de recherche-ENS Paris-Saclay
La scène de lumière
In situ light creation, installation by Eric Michel and Gain Scenography.
The garden and the architecture of Renzo Piano's building are the subject of an in situ light creation, which combines the talents of artist and teacher Eric Michel and the students of the Institut d'Optique Graduate School. The Aurora installation designed by Gain Scenography accompanies this creation, commissioned by the Scène de recherche.
Rêve quantique
Installation-performance by Labofactory (Laurent Karst and Jean-Marc Chomaz), Virgile Novarina, Walid Breidi
Rêve quantique is a "sleep performance", an installation that reveals the intense cerebral activity during sleep, despite the apparent immobility of the sleeper, by putting it in dialogue with the living forces that animate the ocean.
Production: Chaire Arts AND Sciences Polytechnique.
Homogenitus
Installation-performance and speculative design by Marie-Julie Bourgeois
Homogenitus are artificial clouds generated by human activities. In the face of rising temperatures, solar radiation management (SRM) techniques propose to produce artificial clouds to reduce - theoretically - the reflectivity of surfaces.
On the borderline between art, speculative design and science, the project proposes various productions that feed the debate on climate manipulation with humour and fantasy.
La grande accélération
Visual and sound installation by Florent Di Bartolo and Xavier Hautbois
The "Great Acceleration" is a visual and sound installation project which focuses on the evolution of the melting ice. It is based on data simulating the retreat of the Ross Barrier in the Antarctic region. The ambition of the project is to offer a sensitive experience of climate change through the evolution of an audiovisual landscape built from the analysis of scientific data showing the flow and erosion of the ice over the next 100 years.
Le patrimoine de l'ENS Paris-Saclay à découvrir

Dragonflies. The brambles and the frog. The boat. The cypresses. The bats. The five cast aluminium sculptures (1% - 2020) presented in the garden ponds from east to west, unfold a cyclical narrative according to the course of the sun, like that of day following night, of death following life, in a perpetual and immutable cycle.

Véronique Caye
Theatre, augmented reality

Inspired by Prospero, the magician in Shakespeare's The Tempest, and by Giorgione's painting La Tempesta, Véronique Caye and her team take us on an original sensory and visual journey. Led by actors and circus performers, the spectators correspond with Prospero and experience the magic of augmented reality.
Instabilités
9pm - Grand amphi
Tristan Menez – Benjamin Le Baron
Time: 1h30
Using manipulations based on fluid mechanics, whether static or dynamic, this performance offers spectators a composition of kinetic and sound tableaux, between abstraction and representation of reality, science and science fiction.
Guitars and canopy

Nicolas Perrin, Alexis Tessier, Tom Mansion, Louis Lalay
Time: 30 min
In Improvisation #in situ 1, a trio of electric guitars with digital sensors improvise sounds recorded and transformed in situ from the new buildings of ENS Paris-Saclay. Proposal from the workshop "Fabrique ton (ENS)trument" of the Scène de recherche.
In Portrait d'Horizon, Nicolas Perrin in solo for electric guitar and sensory sensors proposes a strange musical journey towards a horizon that is both microscopic and coming from the highest part of the wild canopy.
RCO - Radical Choreographic Object
21h45 - Atrium Germaine Tillion
Company K.Danse : Jean-Marc Matos et Sarah Fdili Alaoui
Relational choreographic performance
Time: 1h
RCO is a relational choreographic performance, in which the choreography evolves entirely according to the embodied behaviour of the audience and their participation in the performers' invitations and instructions sent to their mobile phones.
The audience, with desire, activates the rules of the performance. Enter the dance, invent it.
