Visual and Sonic Representations of Societal Transformations: When Art and Science Undiscipline Themselves, Disrupt, and Create Collective Imaginaries - 2025.

Visual arts offer the possibility of an artistic approach with an aesthetic purpose but also constitute a means of reappropriating life and inventing alternative conditions of existence. Education in the different forms of beauty and possible worlds through travel, light, colors and sounds enriches individual and collective imaginations, promoting the development of sensitive thinking. Researchers have highlighted the role of the brain and in particular, of memory; music would produce an effect of disorientation, an effect of emotional synchronization and mirror neurons etc. stimulating collective imaginations. This communication brings together an experimental collaboration between a professional musician DJ and two economists specializing in the environment, the development of the North and South territories (Africa). They compare their theoretical and empirical knowledge of their disciplines with their respective artistic practices (photography and musical composition) in order to propose visual sound supports testing the emotions and perceptions of the world on differentiated audiences. This collaboration aims to transcribe realities on the ground and forms of contemporary utopias in the face of major societal challenges (environment, humanism, progress, etc.). Digital and digital innovations are being mobilized to test their capacity to transform eco-anxiety into creative energy and a provider of hope and emancipation. Videos/clips will be presented during the Forum.
