École de multimédia et d'art de Fribourg, Digital arts school in Pérolles, Switzerland
The École de multimédia et d'art de Fribourg is a digital arts school in the Pérolles district housed in a converted 1904 factory building previously used for pasta production. The building contains studios and workshops dedicated to various creative disciplines.
The school was founded in 1987 as a private arts school and took its current name in 1997. This restructuring marked its transition to a publicly funded educational institution.
The school occupies a former factory building that now serves as a gathering place for young creative professionals. The spaces reflect the work produced there, with studios, workshops, and exhibition areas visible throughout.
The school enrolls students interested in interactive media design, though admission is selective and based on application and prior experience. Visitors can explore the building or attend public exhibitions when they are held.
The school building was previously known as the Timbale factory and retained its industrial character after conversion. The school's name was later changed to eikon, derived from the Greek word for image.
