Infographythm, a project coordinated by CarréRotondes and the non-profit organisation Design Friends, was conceived along the same lines as the Graphythm exhibition – an alliance of graphics and rhythm – which was organised within the walls of the old Exit07, and within the framework of the UE project ‘Luxembourg and the Greater Region, European Capital of Culture 2007’.

For this new edition, information graphics  will be honoured. The participants – coming from the world of design (graphic designers, photographers, etc) – will be asked to perform a task, at the very least unusual, in the midst of the professional summer break: create a personal activity report for the month of August. It will be a question of creating a report – by means of ‘information graphics ’ understood in the original definition of “information provided through graphic design” – of a personal activity, from the more trivial enumerating of the daily routine in slow motion to the more extravagant seasonal experiences, an activity which will extend throughout August and whose results and values will be translated and assessed by means of diagrams, curves and other schema.

The codes of bureaucratic graphic design (often related …) will thus be reinvested in a light hearted way, but in a resolutely aesthetic  process underlining the somewhat ridiculous and superfluous aspect of the endless activity reports which are propagated at the end of the year.
Infographythm has been conceived for the personal small enterprise of each one of the participants: with August being placed under the sign of graphic constraint, the inventive minds will be asked to show their zeal in the midst of the close season!

Selected creations will be exhibited in the EXPO space of the CarréRotondes and gathered within a catalogue designed for this occasion.

Opening night Wednesday, 24 February 2010
Exhibition from 25|02|2010 au 04|04|2010
