EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Studio VanTot

18:15 – 18:45 pm Q&A via Zoom

Within the world of lighting, not many designers experiment in such a progressive and idiosyncratic way as VANTOT does. From LED to solar cells, Esther Jongsma and Sam van Gurp have developed into true light specialists within their studio, VANTOT. Originally creating innovative LED lighting for interiors, the designers are now taking new steps in public spaces.

Lighting experts Sam van Gurp and Esther Jongsma both graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven. They founded studio VANTOT in this city in 2015. Here, they experiment and unite technology and aesthetics in their designs. The designers create lighting designs for interiors, such as Limpid Lights, Current Currents and VVV, a circuit of linked elements that together form an architectural curtain of light. They now also design for public spaces with Thank you for the sun and SUNSEEKER. They work for national and international clients, for collections as well as on their own initiative.

With the many different ongoing projects, they wish to accelerate and facilitate the energy transition.

JUNE 17

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:45 – 19:15 pm Interactive talk by MAD Emergent Art Center

Our world is getting more digital. And everywhere around us we can find art and technology getting more close to each other or even merge. Just like AR options in public space as art. How can art be manifested in future public space? How will art evolve? How will technology evolve? What will the impact be on the experience of our surroundings?

Art & Science Salon is a public panel discussion between an artist and scientist accompanied by a moderator. For this edition, AR artist Tamiko Thiel and Associate Professor TU/e Mathias Funk will meet to talk about the topic AR Art in Public Space. Our moderator for this event is Carmin Karasic, digital artist and teacher.

Tamiko Thiel is a visual artist exploring the interplay of place, space, the body and cultural identity. She works in a variety of media ranging from supercomputers to digital prints and videos to interactive 3d virtual reality worlds and augmented and mixed reality artworks and installations.

Mathias Funk is Associate Professor in the Future Everyday group of the department of Industrial Design. He leads the Things Ecology lab. In addition, he is the co-founder of UXsuite GmbH, a high-tech spin-off of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

Carmen Karmersiek is a digital artist and teacher. Beside that she works for ASML. She is our moderator of the night.

This edition is made possible by by MAD emergent art center.

JUNE 24

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:45 – 18:15 pm Interactive talk by iGem

18:15 – 18:45 pm Q&A via Zoom

The iGEM competition was organized for the first time in 2003 by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The aim was to encourage students to try to solve real-world problems using genetically engineered organisms. It has grown enormously over the years and is now the largest synthetic biology competition, with more than 360 teams participating from all over the world yearly. 

Luke Rossen of the TU/e iGEM team talks about their new project. More info soon.

JULY 1

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Frans van de Vosse (Artificial Womb)

18:15 – 18:45 pm Q&A via Zoom

Researchers of TU/e and partners aim to develop an artificial womb, which is an adequate substitute for the protective environment of the maternal womb in case of premature birth, preventing health complications. The artificial womb and placenta will provide a natural environment for the baby with the goal to ease the transition to newborn life. The perinatal life support (PLS) system will be developed using breakthrough technology: a manikin will mimic the infant during testing and training, advanced monitoring and computational modeling will provide clinical guidance.

Frans van de Vosse is the project coordinator and professor of Cardiovascular Biomechanics at the department of Biomedical Engineering at TU/e.

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Margriet van Schijndel

18:15 – 18:45 pm Q&A via Zoom

The EAISI Mobility Lab is a joint program of NXP and TU/e and is also an ICAI Lab. ICAI is a Dutch network aimed at technology and talent development between knowledge institutes, industry, and government in the area of artificial intelligence.It aims to advance perception technology such that mobile systems become able to understand – and not merely sense – the environment that they operate in. Understanding is the basis for hypothesizing and anticipating on possible future events and thus the basis for planning safe and effective actions.

Margriet van Schijndel – de Nooij is the program manager at EAISI: “I firmly believe that artificial intelligence can boost safety and energy efficiency of vehicles, but also of our overall mobility system. To establish this, close collaboration with industrial partners like NXP is crucial. Being part of the ICAI network helps us to maximize the impact of our innovations.”

Studio Birthplace dedicates itself to tell the pressing stories of our time, to create awareness and inspire change. Animals, humans and nature are struggling to survive all over the world as we experience a critical climate emergency, massive inequity and a sixth mass extinction. The challenges we face are overwhelming and complicated, but we must face them. As artists and as humans, Studio Birthplace believes that shining a light on these topics is our responsibility. Together we will tell the stories of those who can’t tell their own and work towards a sustainable future for this planet we call home, our Birthplace.

SEPT 16

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Marco Arts (Carbyon)

18:15 – 18:45 pm Q&A via Zoom

Carbon is a vital component of every life form on our planet. It is currently emitted as a “waste” product in the form of CO₂ and is one of our principle climate change agents. By harvesting the free carbon reserve that is present in air, a material abundance for countless everyday products is yielded. Closing the CO₂ cycle in this way will fundamentally transform and neutralize the climate effects of our global energy and materials economy.

Carbyon is developing a technology to capture CO₂ from ambient air. This allows the energy industry to produce 100% circular and renewable fuels from renewable electricity. Carbyon’s unique solution enables the renewable energy sector: making fuels from water and air in a closed loop powered by renewable electricity. COO Marco Arts explains the concept.

SEPT 30

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Studio PMS

18:15 – 18:45 pm Q&A via Zoom

Studio PMS is a Utrecht fashion collective. We are continuously looking for innovative and sustainable ways to communicate fashion. We strive for an industry that is less hierarchical, conservative and passive to its audience. Our name refers to the medical condition known as premenstrual syndrome which is in line with our design philosophy.

The widely known uncertainty around the medical causes of PMS applies directly to our concept: it offers us the freedom to experiment with the many mediums suitable to our concept. We have therefore embraced interdisciplinarity as a design principle. We like to start up interdisciplinary projects and collaborations using 3D modeling, virtual reality, animations and augmented reality. By linking our qualities and creating affiliates, we achieve surprising outcomes and innovative results. By the means of this we stand for a progressive revolution.
