- 2020-2022 Co-chair of HOM (Hydrology of Media) a research project sponsored by the EUR ArTeC
HOM introduces a hydrologic approach to mediations between arts, sciences and humanities. Its main objective is to explore the water properties and effects in our aesthetic, cultural, scientific and educational practices. We study the materiality and the imaging of water representations by making direct interventions in artifacts and methods for scientific analysis. We adopt a multidisciplinary and multicultural procedure to ask the following questions : How to represent water at scales that are invisible to the human eye yet crucial to take into consideration ? How to provoke new aesthetic reactions capable of generating a hydrologic conscience ?
