The term “vision” is used to describe ideas, designs and projects that are usually daring, if not outright Utopian in nature. A “visionary” – as derived from the French word visionnaire – is an intellectual pioneer, who develops courageous, daring and, sometimes also, uncomfortable ideas and presents them for discussion.
Hence, in the 2012 edition of E.A.T., the participants discussed and philosophised about visions, ideas, designs and projects that have been either created for the mountains or dreamed up in the mountains.
Curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Beatrix Ruf and Philip Ursprung.
