I received an invitation

Ensci, one of the most well known design school in Paris is having its 2008-2009 graduation series. well i write series since each representative to a final jury is preparing a whole session of exhibit. better not to miss! Here below is Alexandre Mussche's invitation for those who are interested in services, new media and new planning tools for an upgraded quality of life. French language is a must to follow up the discussions and presentation but i still believe design has a common language in most cases.



J'ai le plaisir de vous inviter à la soutenance de mon diplôme le Mercredi 3 juin 2008 à l'Ensci. La présentation commence à 9h et se déroulera sur la matinée :


- Book (série de projets réalisés depuis 2003)

- Images de la frontière linguistique (mémoire de fin d'étude) : histoire de la façon dont à été imagée la géographie des langues en Belgique accompagné d'une série d'expérimentations cartographiques (sous la direction de Marie-Haude Caraës). Expérimentations cartographiques et mémoire visibles sur http://frontiere.wordpress.com

- Micro-radio (projet de diplôme): en s'appuyant sur les usages des récepteurs radio, le projet expérimente sur le territoire, des services de diffusion de contenu sonore à l'échelle micro-locale (sous la direction de Jun Yasumoto).

Paris Photo 2008

A promising wind blows in from contemporary Asia

Guest of honour: Japan

From November 13 to 16, 2008, Paris Photo, the world’s leading fair for
19th century, modern and contemporary photography, will bring
together 107 exhibitors (86 galleries + 21 publishers) from 19 countries
at the Carrousel du Louvre.

Spotlight on Japan : an exceptional overview of Japanese photography
For the first time, Paris Photo is looking towards the Far East and inviting Japan as its guest of
honour. This coincides with growing international interest in Japanese photography. Photography
has been one of the most intense and major areas of Japanese culture since it was first introduced in
the country in 1848, towards the end of the Edo Period.
