For its thirteenth edition, Offline has set out to discover how living in residency enables artists and designers to discover new sources of inspiration, nurture their work with original techniques and confront unusual criticism. Even for people whose lives are far from routine, detaching oneself from one’s habits allows one to question one’s practice by immersing oneself in a different human and aesthetic environment, and to imbue it with a culture in which people produce and think differently.
Offline is the ECAL magazine. Produced by students, it presents the events that have marked a semester – workshops, masterclasses, exhibitions or trips – through interviews and portfolios. Each issue is structured around a thematic dossier, providing an opportunity to examine an issue from different points of view. Finally, reviews of Bachelor’s theses complete the picture.
Led by Bachelor of Graphic Design students, the artistic direction is specifically designed for each issue, giving the print version its own unique character.
