Live in the sea, undress the coast - and vice versa
Down to the sea questions the future of the man on the oceanic coast, in a distanced approach articulating a scientific knowledge, artistic forms and critical design. The rise of the water level, and the questioning of the legitimacy of the aggressive "colonization" of the sea front draw attention to this sensitive zone today - this coast which is the end of the earth, and the beginning of the sea … It is also the place of an intermediate position, that of the pondering and the projection; we look at this sea without entering it, at a distance. How to imagine, from then on, a life of the man on these intermediate zones? How can develop architecture, design, and art in these spaces of changeable tides? It is necessary to live in the sea and to undress the coast - or vice versa ?
What
A research project co-supported by the University of Arts - Brest (Ecole Européenne Supérieure d’Art de Bretagne). It is intended for the students of Master's degree in art and design and will develop over two years, from 2018 till 2020.
How
To bring this research to a successful conclusion, Down to the sea works with an interdisciplinary and experimental approach heiress of the radical practices of the 1970s. It is not a question of actually building a new floating housing environment, or a high tech diving suit, but to wonder if the future of the man is to be fish.
With a multidisciplinary team (scientists, designers, artists, film-makers, draftsmen, musicians, theorists) and a group of students of Master's degree of our two schools, our objective thus is to study, to fantasize and design the way the man will live in this sea end tomorrow. Reality and fiction have to live, and feed mutually. Down to the sea will rely on the contemporary scientific researches concerning in particular the ocean and the garment through study days, and will work in the design of a new world.
Return
The realized productions will be of multiple orders: objects, movies, sound rooms, comic strips, critical texts, fictions.
The return will be double: an exhibition or a festival will allow to present the researches, the objects and the produced movies; a publication will report of all projects, and will come to tell this story which we shall invent collectively.
