Les héros de la pensée: 26-hour marathon of collective thinking transcribed
A new book titled 'Les héros de la pensée, A-Z 26: 00' captures a distinctive endurance experiment orchestrated by Massimo Furlan alongside anthropologist Claire de Ribeaupierre. The event featured eight participants, including Marc Augé and Pierre-Olivier Dittmar, who engaged in discussions spanning various themes from 'Alcool' to 'Zoophilie' over a marathon 26-hour period. Each hour involved a thematic conversation paired with music improvisation and wine tasting curated by Emmanuel Giraud. Held at bar l'Interlope in Neuchâtel from January 21 to 22, 2012, this project, managed by CAN, is documented in a comprehensive text by Christophe Kihm.
