Our approach

The story of Corossol Scop begins when Riwad Salim and Maude Durbecker met at the Institut de recherche et d'innovation (IRI), co-founded by the philosopher Bernard Stiegler at the Centre Pompidou.

Within a multidisciplinary team, Riwad developed a broad practice of digital design through technical, creative and experimental projects. After training in field philosophy and working with organisations, Maude joined the IRI team. She coordinated contributive research projects, in which she helped residents and researchers discuss digital issues through training sessions, workshops and discussion groups.

Following this shared experience, we looked for a way to bring our approaches together, between philosophy and digital design. The cooperative model seemed the best suited to what we wanted to do: it lets us question the way we work, make decisions and share value. This is how Corossol Scop was born.

We are a digital design and creation cooperative. We design and carry out digital projects. From video games to animated films, from websites to data visualisation interfaces, every technical production deserves some thought beforehand. We believe that designing and using a digital tool is not only about meeting a technical or functional need. It also means understanding the context it belongs to, the intentions behind it and the issues it raises, because the answer is not always where we expect it.

At a time of artificial intelligence, automation and the widespread digitisation of the way we work and live, our approach follows on from the thinking of authors such as Bernard Stiegler and Félix Guattari. We try to think about digital technology in its technical, psychological, social and environmental dimensions, and we carry this method through our projects and collaborations, from the first ideas to their completion.
