What is WEP? WEP is a two-week program entirely designed and produced by KAUST and takes place during an interlude in the academic semester in January when courses are not offered. The whole University becomes involved in one of the most exciting programs of the year, including keynote lecture series, masterclasses, field trips, exhibitions, science fairs, entrepreneurship programs, opening nights, and final galas. The program hosts KAUST speakers, eminent international guest speakers, Nobel Laureates, entrepreneurs, academics, as well as distinguished local and regional leaders and decision-makers.

Moving forward together by Adam Magyar

“For a short moment, the time of those walking for the camera meets the timelessness of the piece of art.” Adam Magyar. To celebrate the10th anniversary of WEP, photographer and video artist Adam Magyar used his famous slit-scan technique to capture a stunning moment in time of the WEP 2019 students. On January 13, 2019, 273 students walked together and became part of a unique photograph of the community of KAUST. This picture was exhibited during WEP along with other works of the artists’ series entitled URBAN FLOW. Adam Magyar is a Berlin-based photographer who finds innovative ways to use technology to observe life. He captures the passing of time and freezes it into still photographs and videos using modified or self-built high-tech digital tools and cameras.
