LIID Future Lab

Active since : 2000
Collective

LIID Future Lab is a research platform on current global transitions (digital, environmental, and demographic) that are impacting the world, and on the contribution of cultural ecosystems to the making of the future.

LIID provides content (publication, conference, installation) and designs future labs (workshop, event, experience, training, innovation) for cultural places (ex. LUMA Arles, Musée d’Art et d’Histoire Genève), cities (ex. Montevideo, Grand Paris, Shanghai), universities (ex. Sorbonne, Aalto University Helsinki, etc.) and companies in France and abroad.

LIID (Laboratoire d'Ingénierie d'IDées / Idea Engineering Laboratory) was born in 2000 from the desire of artist-researcher Raphaële Bidault-Waddington to explore the frontier of art and knowledge (post-conceptual art), to question the place and contribution of art to the making of the world, and to experiment collaborations with organizations (following pioneer artists such as Fabrice Hyber, Paul Devautour, or John Latham).

Over time, LIID, renamed LIID Future Lab in 2016, has become a foresight research platform at the crossroads of the cultural, academic, urban and economic spheres, working with numerous structures in France and abroad (and occasionally with the support of IF such as in Denmark, USA and Switzerland).

LIID Future Lab also develops R&D future labs. From 2008 to 2017, it led a lab on the future of the Greater Paris metropolis, awarded several academic research grants, and including a long series of conferences, publications, workshops and exhibitions in France and abroad.

Similarly, since 2017, LIID has been developing the lab "Future Worlds, prospective of an anthropological and epistemological refoundation" (Anthropocene paradigm, AI, Post-truth, post-colonial era, etc.), and exploring new aspirational futures and world-building methods.

For the Institut Français international network

LIID can contribute to various types of programs (talks, exhibitions, educational programs, urban or impact projects, innovative collaborations with partners, etc.), and help give them a forward-looking dimension (thought leadership).

As part of its "Future Worlds" lab, LIID offers an itinerant module (masterclass, panel and/or workshop) to be programmed and adapted by/for IF Network members.

Selection of references: Geneva Art and History Museum, LUMA Arles Foundation, Cities of Geneva, Montevideo, Copenhagen, CNRS, Center for Molecular Medicine (Stockholm), UNESCO, Institute for the Future (Palo Alto), Aalto University (Helsinki), Parsons School (Paris and NY), Gallery Lafayette group, etc.

Raphaële Bidault-Waddington is a member of international networks such as the UNESCO Global Foresight Network, and the New Club of Paris (experts in intangible economy and innovation policy).
