I live Tomorrow proposes to show the reality of research and the contemporary productions in continuity with these various events through a program thought in a total environment.
Conceived like a fluid space, I live Tomorrow is thought like a projection in new realities: tomorrow is today.
We isolated several problems in order to articulate a whole of relations in the general contents of the exposure.
- Form (S): The form is a recurring question in the production of Design. I Live Tomorrow wishes to show this recurrence while identifying the new forms which emergent today.
- Use (S): The practices which were associated the thought and the functionalist production in the definition of the object or/and the space (ex: a seat to sit down) are redefined today in a new complexity: the use. Indeed, our industrial companies post or hyper industrial are confronted with obsolescence (ex: cellular phone with multifonctionnalities).
- New Technologies: The numerical tools radically changed the conceptual development and the production equipments. We passed from the object drawn to the object calculated with the vectorial software : the Parametric Design.
- Matter (S): The materials were always basically related to the object conferring different intrinsic values to them (ex: wood, polymers, plastics, etc). New materials appear and offer new formal and relational prospects (ex: self-healing technopolymères, the corian of quasi indestructible Dupont De Nemours, etc)
- Skin: The surface of the objects is according to cases' thought like an envelope, but for a few years the concept of skin has appeared as an emblematic interface related to the immediate relation between the object and its surface, the object and the individual to sometimes even become communicating surface. Let us recall that the context of diseases such as the AIDS reinforced these relations with the body.
- Space (S): Cartesian space and its functional organization marked the design of our domestic environments. Today under the influence of new technologies, we attend the emergence of the domestic territories and new domesticities.
Espace(s) Méta Domestique(s)
These spaces propose to the visitors an experimentation of the “domestic sphere” reinvented by architects and designers. These micro spaces, these intervals concern a futurology where all the functionalities which generally predetermine the creation of a space disappeared with the profit from the personal experiment.
New Domestic territories
Objects become environments and environments become objects will be proposed to the visitors. The whole of the proposals presented here will develop the question of the uses and that of our relation with the objects. The projects presented in this zone of the exposure are also the result of a reflexion on new fashions of production (rapid prototyping), on new materials (technopolymère), on new economies and energies.
Virtual Worlds & Digital Matter
The visitor is plunged here in the current research undertaken with new technologies. In this zone, will be presented "domestic animals" become Artificial Intelligence, parallel worlds carried out starting from our own environments and matérialisation of virtual productions become real virtualities.
Bureaux des « catastrophes »
Far from translating a pessimistic feeling, this last zone of the project will be devoted to the presentation of videographic, photographic documents and of the prototypes of projects and objects which were not followed of a production where which was a failure.
