Sous la technique, les matières
Entretien avec Jean-Baptiste Fressoz. Aujourd’hui, l’écologie fournit une cure de jouvence à une idée ancienne : le progrès technologique.

Que cache cette obsession pour les techniques ou la production énergétique ? Autant de questions que nous nous sommes posées avec l’historien des techniques Jean-Baptiste Fressoz.

Co-living: Could it be the future of home ownership?
ANALYSIS. Co-living is a form of shared accommodation halfway between hotel services and traditional housing. It offers an alternative to traditional housing while questioning our relationship to property. But to what extent can this experiential strategy of ownership really transform the logic of ownership? And what is the situation today, at a time of pandemic and injunctions to social distancing? Behind the fine promises and marketing operations, does coliving meet real needs?

Every time a civilization is in crisis, there is a return of the commons
INTERVIEW with Michel Bauwens. The commons are nothing new. Historically citizens always came together to pool resources and manage them collectively and autonomously. It is the responsibility of cities and states to identify, connect and support them. Today the commons appear as a choice of society in a world at the end of its lifespan. A society where economic and productive systems will finally be compatible with the major planetary balances.

We discussed the topic with Dan Acher, artivist at Happy City Lab, Camille Bonazzi, journalist and vice-president of Noise La Ville and Pascal Le Brun Cordier, artistic programmer and head of the Master 2 Professional Cultural Projects in Public Space.
