L’île des réunions (the island of meetings)

A methodology of collaborative meetings for an affirmative approach of uncertainty Français

The book L’île des réunions (The island of meetings) gathers ten stories and analysis of artistic and social situations that happened during the European Capital of Culture in Mons in 2015. These situations all deal with the act of reunion. Why do we gather? What is the aim of a meeting?
We worked in close collaboration with Les commissaires anonymes to think and design this book.

We decided to make this book halfway between and adventure novel and a practical manual so the reader can read each experiment like a short story, then see a visual synthesis of necessary elements for this meeting to happen.

We designed more than 150 pictograms in 1 or 2 colors, explaining the elements of each experiment and the possible outputs. These pictograms were not designed solely as visual depictions of the words they define but as a way to stimulate the reader’s reasoning.
