Drawing on theories of embodiment and Japanese philosophy and thought, my research proposes a cultural decentring of the arts, design and engineering in order to explore their relationship with non-institutionalised creative moments in everyday life (appropriation, deviation, etc.). Through this research, I am interested in the attitude, the societal role and the limitations of design in the service of transforming practices.
The craft and design school Ensaama and the Cnam jointly award the Higher Diploma in Applied Arts, equivalent to a master's degree (120 ECTS credits at level 7).
The ‘Arts, Design and Society’ specialisation at the Abbé Grégoire Doctoral School (ED 546) covers a range of disciplines that link creativity and society, encompassing epistemological, artistic, industrial, societal and ecological considerations, and spanning creation, design and innovation.
L'objectif de ce Master est de former des créateurs capables de concevoir leur projet professionnel, d’inventer leur pratique de design de manière prospective en intégrant l’évolution des sociétés et des contextes culturels et techniques sans cesse redéfinis.
This seminar invites research communities linked to design and creation to contribute together to a better understanding of methodological issues in research as a place for exploration, discussion and dissemination of ideas and knowledge.
This seminar aims to launch the third session of the school of not-Knowing. The first began in September 2022 at the French Institute in Milan and culminated in the form of a first exhibition in the same place in January 2024.

The School of not-knowing is based on the conviction that dialogue between art, design, science and society can open up new horizons for understanding and apprehending known and yet-to-be-discovered worlds.

The major aim of this course is to improve students' scientific or technical presentation skills, focusing on the roles and the effects of involved media in presenting a project (e.g., a poster, an artefact, a video...).
Cette UE propose une vue d'ensemble des pratiques de la recherche en design, art et création, afin de contextualiser la pratique dans l'activité de recherche.
