François Azambourg travaille depuis à des nouvelles formes de design cellulaire et élabore la scénographie de l'exposition qui sera présentée au Laboratoire. Dans une volonté participative, il a convié ses anciens étudiants de l'ENSCI à travailler sur ce projet.
L'expérience est menée en étroite collaboration avec le scientifique américain Don E. Ingber, spécialiste de la biochimie cellulaire et David Edwards ; accompagné des chercheurs français Raphaël Haumont et Sidi Bencherif, spécialistes de la physique-chimie des matériaux.
L'exposition Le Design Cellulaire présente les étapes fondamentales inhérentes à la réalisation du projet ; des essais réussis mais également loupés ; et enfin des nouvelles formes de bouteilles autour d'un design cellulaire et éphémère....
Dans ce contexte, nous avons été amené a réaliser une multitude d'expériences autour de ces nouveaux process de production. Nous avons également conçu et fabriqué une algue géante imaginée par François Azambourg pour l'exposition.
French designer François Azambourg and American scientist Donald Ingber brought together a panel of researchers, with the assignment of coming up with a prototype container as close to nature as possible. The panel looked into the feasibility of transporting water via a system inspired by the biological cell, based on a suggestion made in the course of a number of lectures in Harvard University during the fall of 2008 by Professor David Edwards, the founder of Le Laboratoire. Originally perceived as rather utopian, it is now considered that this could actually be done by harnessing the expertise of experienced specialists. François Azambourg has since been developing this idea through new forms of cell design, and has been preparing the set for Le Laboratoire exhibition. The experiment is being developed in close collaboration with the scientist Donald Ingber, a cellular biochemistry specialist, and David Edwards, with input from the French researchers Raphaël Haumont and Sidi Bencherif, specialized in the physicochemical properties of materials. Entitled Cellular Design, the exhibition will go through the various project steps, from initial tests (successes and failures alike) to new forms of bottles incorporating a cellular and ephemeral design.
In this context, we've been experimenting many times on these new processes, and we also built a giant algae. The latter was imagined by François Azambourg for the prupose of the exhibition.
