Since 2016, the project Cosmomorphe has been reconsidering humans as one living being among others for the purposes of composing a common world, both human and non-human. In 2019, based on Stations 15 – “Faire Chair, comment changer de paradigme dans des mondes enchevêtrés?” – 16 – “Métamorphose et contamination, la permanence du changement” – and 18 – “Rituel.le.s” –, a need for a true transformation capable of allowing us to put our imagination into action emerged. Now more than ever, the amplification of the planetary crisis spurs us to action, starting with (re)establishing connections: this is what La Fabrique du Nous, initiated by the IAC and URDLA, invites us to do. On this occasion, the Laboratory is organizing Station 21 "Cartographie of Us #2 / Caring for the land". Who or what is the “us” of today? How can we draw up new maps of the relationships between humans and non-humans employing sensitivity and creation? With which maps of living communities can an art of re-inhabiting and rehabilitating the world emerge?

In 2019, beginning with Station 15 – Faire Chair, comment changer de paradigme dans des mondes enchevêtrés – and 16 – Métamorphose et contamination, la permanence du changement, the need for a true metamorphosis capable of allowing one to enact one’s own imagination emerged. Now more than ever, the increasing amplification of the global crisis calls on us to act, beginning by reestablishing connections: this is what the Fabrique du Nous, initiated by the IAC and URDLA, invites us to do.  

The Station 15 addresses the redefinition of our ontological condition. The paradigm shift paths, artistic, scientific, philosophical, economic, eco-feminist or legal, are all tools to explore new ways of living in entangled and multiple worlds. The contact zones between the living, subjectivities intertwined in an environment common to all, are at the heart of this station. Artists and researchers, whose responsibility is called upon here, come to share their imaginations in order to consider new conditions for cohabitation.

From stage 1(0) on, the Lab initiates a new cycle, widening the scope of its research field in such a way as to include the organic bonds that connect man with cosmos. Issues raised by the Anthropocena are indeed a strong incentive for man to acknowledge its relative position within the life chain. (...) 

Resulting from a discussion between Yann Chateigné and Joachim Koester, The curtain of dreams. Hypnagogic visions consists of a series of incursions in research devoted to ‘visual images’ – using Henri Michaux’s expression, from whom the title has been borrowed in part –, perceived by the spirit in a state of changed awareness. (…)

Starting from Brion Gysin’s Dreamachine, Station 4 focuses on art experiments conducted on the effects of stroboscopic light and their effects on neuronal perception.

Station flash brings together the participants of the laboratory to organize future stations. Historian of art and philosopher, Bertrand Prévost, invited by Pierre Montebello, talks about his works.

From the late 1950s, many artists put into practice new approaches to the relationship with the viewer-visitor. From an egocentred posture, which conveyed their feeling in plastic terms, they moved on to propositions of the “allocentred” type, in which the perception of the world was then as it were given to be shared, following a process whereby the “self” and the other blended together, making room for the emergence of the experience per se.
