Borders: A word from geographers
Geography: another way of talking about people. Geography enables us to understand societies in their spatial dimension. In this exhibition, the public will discover a multiplicity of possibilities: open, closed or porous borders, borders that are places of opportunity or conflict, that separate, protect and sort. They are lines, but also thicknesses, points and even networks. Here, the exhibition looks at the subject of borders by choosing a dozen examples from around the world, some for their emblematic character, others for their singular, intriguing aspect, or for the light they shed on a major issue.
Magic: Belief and Knowledge
A magic show is a form of entertainment, based on scientific and technical principles that magicians rely on. It is based on innovations which create magical effects thanks to lesserknown scientific discoveries. Magicians today call into question our perception of reality, our belief, and our relationship with technology, now more than ever before. Science plays a role in tricking, entertaining and instructing during a magic show. Magicians have questioned the process of making illusions, alongside innovations in different fields: optics, acoustics, and more recently computer and digital sciences.
By tracing the history of magic filled with great discoveries and anecdotes, this exhibition plunges visitors into a captivating world, mixing science and magic. The visitors can play with interactive installations while exploring the brain system, either as magicians or as spectators.
