Poster World

The EPFL+ECAL Lab and the Bibliothèque de Genève present Poster World, an interactive digital installation that immerses you in one of Switzerland's finest poster collections.
12 September - 23 November
Bibliothèque de Genève / Onlab

A remarkable graphic object, omnipresent in our daily lives, the poster must capture attention and convey a message in a short space of time. It combines numerous visual components, and a multitude of elements determine its impact: colors, compositional lines, presence of objects and shapes, typography, text position, contrasts. Based on a large selection of Geneva posters from the Library's collection, Poster World uses artificial intelligence to perform a metadata analysis and generate triptychs of posters based on formal similarities, revealing on screen a graphic richness that is difficult to perceive and that can be recomposed at will.
Curation: Jean-Charles Giroud, historian and former head of the Bibliothèque de Genève's poster collection
