Media Design Master presents the new instalment of its Distortion Series, an hybrid festival format.
First-year students will exhibit their projects at HEAD – Genève and will host a series of online talks with designers, critical thinkers and professors.

For the past year, MA in Media Design has been exploring the relationships between the design and use of digital technologies and our environment. More specifically, we are interested in the role of designers in the ecological crisis. How can they renew our knowledge about the world with thorough observations and representations? How can we engage citizens into understanding the state of our planet? What types of original formats can we invent to tell stories about our environment? At the intersection of field research, design fiction and immersive worldbuilding, this new instalment of Distortion Series will showcase a series of projects, the results of two workshops done between January and March 2021. Both workshops focused their subjects on our local surroundings: the Arve and the Lake of Geneva.

We would like to thank the Lake Geneva Museum and Michael Jakob for their support.
