Experimenting with new modes of representation

Artists are major protagonists of the way our representations and narratives change over time, through image as well as fiction, which Frédérique Aït-Touati views as playing a fundamental role in the advancement of sciences and the construction of a collective imaginary. She is thus engaged, through her alternative cartographies and theatrical performances, in “landing” the gaze we turn towards the earth in order to highlight our belonging to Gaia. Besides her research on the developments of our ontological representations, she promotes, through SPEAP program, a pedagogy of experience, multidisciplinarity, and the dialogue between art and science.

The historian of science recently co-edited, with Emanuele Coccia, the collective work Le cri de Gaïa, penser la Terre avec Bruno Latour. Here she opens the way to an unprecedented exploration, that of a “New New World” that disrupts the codes of cartography and learning.
