An engineering student wins the A.R.T.S prize
Innovation at the heart of INSA training: Marie ANNETON, an engineering student in the Mechanical Engineering and Development Department, has won the A.R.T.S. Student Prize awarded by the CEA of Grenoble last October.
In February 2011, the Mechanical Engineering and Development Department (GMD) supplemented its training curriculum by proposing "Innovation" options to its engineering students. One of the subjects stands out: it is presented as being the encounter between mechanical engineering and Arts. The Art, Science and Engineering option, created and managed by Delphine Savel (Sports Centre - Human Sciences Centre - Dance-studies section) and Fabrice Ville (GMD), enabled engineering students to innovate in a different environment from industry.
The "Danser (DROIT) dans le mur" project (Dance (RIGHT) into the wall) proposed by Marie Anneton won over the artistic and Scientif Council of the Arts-Sciences workshop and obtained the A.RT.S. prize for the Student of 2011, worth €3 000. The award ceremony took place at the MINATEC in Grenoble, on Thursday 6 October 2011, as part of the "Rencontres-i" event and the 6th "Ideas day" seminar.
Inspired by her mechanical engineering background, notably in terms of materials, and actively involved in contemporary dance since entering INSA Lyon via "AS Danse" and the "Incidanse Association", Marie Anneton proposed a strange trio made up of two dancers and a deformable wall. This structure with variable viscosity, whose deformable nature interacts with the dancers, offers a original stage show while remaining central to current research subjects on non-Newtonian fluids.
