Stéphane VIAL is a french philosopher, teacher and interactive designer.
Creative director and project lead at LEKTUM. Professor at Ecole Boulle.
Member of *designers interactifs* and of "Observatoire des Mondes Numériques en Sciences Humaines".
Graduate as a philosopher and a psychologist, Stéphane came in digital world by accident in 2003, when he created a web student community platform named "pp7", that he personally managed during three years thanks to free software. As a philosophy teacher, he discovered design two years later, in 2005, when he integrated École Boulle, famous Paris-based art and design school, where he discovered spatial design and products design, and started discussing projects with designers and architects. In 2007 he founded LEKTUM, an independant digital content design studio which aims at creating digital identities and Web content management solutions for creative professionals and research world, cultural sector and institutions. As a teacher, he gives also courses on digital medias at Paris 1 Sorbonne University (“Métiers des Arts et de la Culture”, UFR 04) and, as a philosopher, he is the author of a Short Treatise on Design (“Court traité du design”) published at French University Press in 2010 with a foreword by Patrick Jouin.

Alain Renk is an architect planner in charge of imaginary chair pattern at Telecom ParisTech.
Since 2001, Alain Renk created new organizations called HOST , R+P architects and uFo (urban Fabric organisation) as a new step in a radical questioning of the architectural profession. Within these new structures it is his intent to redefine the place and role of architecture in a general ecology of the contemporary world. Regarding this latter as a kind of complex and vaguely defined ecosystem, whose invisible topography must be grasped, he uses his projects to explore specific and interdependent factors of territorial transformation. In this context, city planning and architecture must come up, not with forms imitating the world's complexity, but with hybrid processes and transversal strategies which reveal its intelligibility and the power of collective intelligence.
Pierre Musso, a philosopher by training, Professor at Telecom Paris Tech and the University of Rennes II, Head of a Chair of Research and Training "Modelling of imagination, innovation and creation".
This chair was created in 2010, brings together academic partners (Telecom Paris Tech and the University of Rennes II), four founding industrial partners (DS, Ubisoft, Orange, PSA Peugeot Citroën) and two partners (Alcatel Lucent Bell Labs and DATAR).
Pierre Musso has long taught at the Sorbonne and Université Paris-Dauphine. Before joining the University, he conducted research services, studies and forecasting in business and government including the INA, the DATAR and France Telecom where he founded and launched the Creative Studio.
He is the author of many books on communication, media, saint-simonism, networks, territories and innovation, including "Making the Future" (with L. and E. Ponthou Seuillet) published in Global Village (2nd ed. 2007).
Frédéric Jentgen, Designer and director of « JENTGEN DESIGN » to sustainable and desirable innovation integrating environmental, social and high tech inputs.
Intended to study engineering, Frédéric has an art soul, and has made the choice to move towards the applied arts and entered the “Atelier du Design” ENSAAMA ( National superior school of Applied Arts and Art Work, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007). He studied the natural element. Graduated in 1984, he created a collective of designers ODE and joined Desgrippes in 1985 to mount a volume and industrial Design department.
Two years later, in 1987 Frédéric Jentgen , Olivier Pascalie , Laurent Hainault and Fédérico Restrepo created Raison Pure in partnership with « Beautiful Design ».
In 1989, its the Raison Pure Independence, or the freestyle Art.
Faithful to its original approach, Raison Pure is an International group composed by 100 persons spread in 5 separate Design entities:
Raison Pure Paris and Raison Pure New York are devoted to Branding Packaging for mass market, R'Pure works on design volume and selective products.
Since he has always been searching for new prototypes ethical and aesthetic brands.
Dominique Cardon is a Sociologist in the Laboratory of uses of France Télécom.
Dominique Cardon is sociologist in the Laboratory of uses of France Telecom R&D and associate researcher in the Centre d’études des mouvements sociaux (École des hautes études en sciences sociales). He is working on the transformation of the public space and the uses of new technologies. He published different articles on the place of new technologies in the no-global movement, alternative media and on the process of bottom-up innovations in the numeric world. Recently, his researches deal with the use of social media (blogging, Wikipedia, Facebook and Flickr) in different context.
He published La démocratie Internet (Paris, Seuil/République des idées, 2010) and, with Fabien Granjon, Médiactivistes, Paris, Presses de Science po, 2010.
Mette Ramsgard Thomsen is an architect working with digital technologies.
Her research centres on the design of spaces that are defined by physical as well as digital dimensions. Through a focus on intelligent programming and ideas of emergence she explores how computational logics can lead to new spatial concepts. Mette’s work is practice lead and through projects such as Slow Furl, Strange Metabolisms, Vivisection and Sea Unsea she investigates the design and realisation of a behavioural space. Her research focuses on the relationship between crafts and technology framed through Digital Crafting as way of thinking material practice, computation and fabrication as part of architectural culture.
Mette Ramsgard Thomsen is Associate Professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, where she heads the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture [CITA]. During the last 4 years has successfully built the centre that now includes 12 active researchers and research students.
Martin Tamke, is Associate Professor at the Centre for Information Technology & Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
He is pursuing a design led research on the interface and implications of computational design and its materialization.
Being interested in the making as well as the reflection on new strategies in architectural design he worked after graduation at the Institute of Theory and Design in Architecture (ige) at TU Braunschweig in 2003, where he got in contact with scientific research in interdisciplinary projects, mainly with Computer Science. Based on a deep understanding of architectural design and computational techniques he developed his practice between the speculative and the realization of architecture. In the recent years his practice took place in collaborative projects in different scales: from exhibition pieces, competitions and interiors, as the realization of a virtual news studio for the television company RTL to architectural projects. A 70m organic shaped infrastructural hub is currently under construction in Hamburg.
Martin Tamke joined the newly founded research centre CITA in 2006 and shaped its design based research practice. Projects on new design and fabrication tools for wood production, curved creased surfaces or fractal systems led to a series of digitally fabricated speculative probes, prototypes and 1:1 demonstrators and recently the research driven digitally design and production of the exhibition “It’s a small world” in the Danish Design Centre.
He has taught workshops at Vienna, Berlin, Barcelona, St. Petersburg, Hamburg, Istanbul, Moscow, Copenhagen and Aarhus.
