The College of Pataphysics

The College of Pataphysics is an interdisciplinary organization dedicated to exploring "pataphysics," a concept originating from French writer Alfred Jarry, which studies imaginary solutions and the laws governing exceptions to the norm. It blends art, science, literature, and philosophy to challenge conventional thinking and celebrate absurdity and creativity. Founded in 1948 in France, it functions both as a humorous parody of academic institutions and as a serious forum for avant-garde ideas, encouraging unconventional exploration and the celebration of the bizarre and the impossible.
