Igor Galligo initially trained in humanities, leading to three master’s degrees: contemporary philosophy and aesthetics at the University Paris 1 Sorbonne, and political science at the School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS). Since late 2012, he developed his reflection on the topics of ambiance, epistemic, libidinal and attentional devices, under the direction of Bernard Stiegler, director of the Institute of Research and Innovation at the Centre Pompidou, where he directed three international seminars on the transformations of attentional abilities. In 2013, he joined the research program Reflective Interaction at the EnsadLab, the research laboratory of Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, school of art and design in Paris. He also became associated researcher at GERPHAU, a research center in architecture and urbanism.

Victor Chaix
Researchers
Victor Chaix is a Master student in Digital Humanities, at the University of Bologna. He currently conducts his research at the Institute of Network Cultures, with Geert Lovink, in the aim of conceiving new forms of online mediation. His thesis work is at the crossroads of philosophy and design, in an approach that is both theoretical and experimental – that is, in which certain concepts drawn from the humanities are put at the service of coding alternative digital spaces of discussion and publication. He is also a founding member and vice-president of the Association des Amis de la Génération Thunberg (AAGT), for which he is notably in charge of the blog. Victor has had several experiences in journalism, such as at Le Monde or the online daily Reporterre, as well as more “mediactivist” ones, within Extinction Rebellion and, before that, within student newspapers and magazines. His collaborations with Bernard Stiegler and his work on the philosopher’s last tracks of a “new foundation for theoretical computer science” encouraged him to extend these experiences, by working on the very conditions of the production, circulation and interpretation of digital information.
