INAUGURATION MONTREUX JAZZ HERITAGE LAB 2
03.11.2016 The new ArtLab building, designed by Kengo Kuma, is being inaugurated today at EPFL. Three distinct spaces are united below a 250 meter long slate roof, each dedicated to fostering the dialogue between science and culture. Federal councilor Alain Berset will be present at the inauguration ceremony along with Patrick Aebischer, president of EPFL, and the partners of the project.
At its southern end, the Montreux Jazz Café at EPFL is dedicated to presenting the famous festival’s archives, which are inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
Right next to the Café sits the Montreux Jazz Heritage Lab 2, where users can immerse themselves in the Festival’s concerts and explore the digitized recordings in a whole new way. This immersive experience is the result of a cross-disciplinary effort involving the EPFL + ECAL Lab, the Metamedia Center and the ALICE Laboratory.
