Climclam and Transborder : arts, sciences & transdisciplinarity

,

TranSborder is a collaborative art-science platform of research-action and mediation animated by Isabelle Elizéon (researcher in art-science, art science and transdisciplinarity, visual artist and dramaturge). The platform is supported by the Company LASKO, and funded by the Fondation de France and the City of Brest.

The objective of all the actions carried out by TranSborder in art-science creation, mediation, consultation and training is to bring out new ways of building links between humans and non-humans, of thinking and imagining our “living” worlds from the different practices, imaginations and visions inherent to each universe. TranSborder thus aims to contribute to the valorization of research in the sciences of the sea, inter- and transdisciplinary creation, by creating new types of relationships and hybrid knowledge to respond to climatic and ecological issues. This platform is thus a space for practices and research allowing different types of art-science-society collaboration in order to reflect on adaptive art-science practices and methodologies, to develop training adapted to tomorrow’s challenges for students in the field of marine sciences, arts, education sciences, etc.

To accomplish this, TranSborder is working closely with the LEMAR laboratory and Christine Paillard (CNRS Researcher – LEMAR) on the international research project, IRP Climclam – CNRS, developed until 2027, under the direction of Christine Paillard and Luca Bargelloni (BCA – University of Padova, Italy). Within the IRP, Isabelle Elizéon is coordinator of the AR4 – art-science and transdisciplinarity – and leads various collaborations with the aim of creating connections between the 4 research axes, on the one hand, and on the other hand, to study the dynamics of inter- and transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and scientists. In this context, she collaborates with the artists’ collective Life (Anne Le Mée, Quentin Jourdan and Jérémy Segard), Philippe Arson, videomaker at the CNRS, and various researchers of ClimClam.

It is also through this means that Isabelle seeks to develop links with society as a whole by way of mediation and consultation actions, in order to analyze the dynamics and obstacles between the various actors involved. In 2023 and 2024, the flagship projects of TranSborder are Intimate Chronicles of Science, NacrE and The Art of the Link – the Art of Reconciliation, projects developed with actors in science, art and culture, and more generally with the larger society.

MYCTOPHIDAE, a travel in deep seas | A Festival Ressac exhibition

, ,

The oceans? A vastness, a wealth and one of the keys to the functioning of life on our planet. And yet the mysteries are still many. In this partially known world, lanternfish or myctophidae, are very abundant from the equator to the coldest areas, from the surface to several hundred metres deep.

Who are they, what do they look like, what are they doing there? How can we unravel the enigma of this environment that is impossible to observe with our eyes?

 

Led by Gildas Roudaut, some scientists (IRD, CNRS, MNHN, CPS) have initiated a dialogue with a class of Applied Arts (STD2A) of the Vauban High School in Brest.

These exchanges gave rise to an exhibition, MYCTOPHIDAE, presented at the IUEM, and a magazine, La Lanterne, created with the support of the UBO and the IRD as part of the Ressac Festival .

The exhibition can be visited at the Bibiothèque Universitaire du Bouguen (10, av. Victor le Gorgeu, Brest), from 18 November 2019 to 6 January 2020.

It is also available in pDF format (low resolution), on this page.

Exposition Myctophidae

The magazine La Lanterne is available for download here.

Si Quelque Chose Doit Surgir…

, ,

If Something Must Arise…

Behind this enigmatic title, Jean-Manuel Warnet offers us an immersive experience, at once sensory, literary, poetic and scientific.

Jean-Manuel is a lecturer in theatre studies at the UBO, he also teaches literature and directs the company Les Filles de la Pluie.

“Si Quelque Chose Doit Surgir…” is a radio creation that he wrote and produced with Victor Blanchard at the end of an artist residency on a scientific mission in Greenland with our colleagues from LIA BeBEST. First presented as a show, this creation is finally audible in its studio format, on the OUFIPO webradio site. You can listen to it in stereo, under headphones and wrapped up in a fleece. All the details and the starting click are here:

Have a good time listening!

Plastik Panic in the ocean: the exhibition facing the harbor

,

Thursday 29 April 2021 was inaugurated the exhibition “Plastik Panic in the Ocean”, in the presence of three vice-presidents of Brest Métropole, members of LEMAR and the scientific mediation team of Océanopolis.

This exhibition of 16 large-format photographs has been installed on the Promenade du Moulin Blanc, outside Océanopolis. Free of charge and accessible to all walkers, it will remain visible, facing the most beautiful harbour in the world, that of Brest of course, until 7 November 2021.

 

From left to right: Ika PAUL-PONT, Yohann NEDELEC (vice-president of Brest métropole in charge of major projects), Arnaud HUVET, Tristan FOVEAU (vice-president of Brest métropole in charge of sustainable waste management), Laurent PERON (vice-president of Brest métropole in charge of the coast) and Erwan AMICE.

 

Combining scientific and artistic contributions, the aim of the exhibition is to raise awareness among as wide a public as possible of the problems of plastic pollution in our oceans and to support actions in favour of sober use and responsible consumption. The photographs on display show this pollution on our coastline, from the macro to the micro-waste, we follow the scientists from the sampling to the laboratory and end up with concrete solutions and ways to act. This scientific mediation and awareness-raising initiative is part of the objectives of the Preventing Plastic Pollution (PPP) project.

This exhibition is the result of a partnership between members of LEMAR and the scientific mediation teams of Océanopolis, with the support of Brest-Métropôle. We learned of the sudden death of its initiator, Anne Rognant a few days before this inauguration. We would like to pay tribute here to the inspiring woman she was, and to her immeasurable work for the sharing of knowledge.
