TALENT AWARD BY SWISS RE – Winners Eva Schneuwly, Jonatan Bischof & Simon Jeger
⠀
With their project PARASIT, they received the Talent Award at last night’s ceremony at schwarzescafé/Löwenbräukunst.
Their subtle installation in Zurich’s Old Botanical Garden translates touch into sound, inviting collective interaction and shaping an evolving acoustic landscape.
⠀
For the second time, the Talent Award by Swiss Re was presented as part of the Design Biennale Zurich. Honoring young talents, visitors were invited to cast their vote for one of the three nominated projects.

Congratulations!
