Project Details

"In these two installations, participants enter two different rooms (which can be kilometers apart from each other) and virtually interact with each other in real time." 
 
"Point of Vue, Point of You" views two different spaces on two screens. By touching the screen, participants in either space select information from either of the two video inputs to create and organize their own images. In its constant displacements, the crowd in each space generates a group portrait that fills the screen as a visual mixture. 
 
"Body to Body" superimposes participant images on images of others. Participants move freely to catch virtual objects on the screen that control their movements. As the interaction evolves, the image of the others progressively vanishes from the screen, leaving viewers confronted only with their own images, as in a mirror.
