Taking the time to be totally absorbed by a work of art is becoming a rare occurrence in today's fast-paced society. Marjan Abadie developed her Mindful Art Experience method to invite the public to slow down. Using mindfulness, she encourages us to gain a more emotional and intuitive understanding of works of art.
With a series of guided exercises, children and accompanying adults are invited to awaken their senses and connect with their emotions to discover immersive works in a unique sensory experience. Bring comfortable clothing!

Every day, we feed mountains of data into the cloud without considering the shape and whims of this big, sensitive thing. The Cloud Attitude project aims to shed light on our digital cloud in a playful, instructive and poetic way. Made by hand, a 'real' cloud reacts to the surrounding noise using sound sensors. When the ambient noise exceeds a certain level… it starts to thunder!
