roqsTree

Tree is an interactive installation shaped as a flowering tree. It gathers participants around a reactive and cooperative structure, exploiting both the architectural and social angle of the immediate parallel that exists between reality and virtuality.

Gravity

Words appear, reply to each other, reconstruct, play with the asperities of a façade... Through the vector of phone messages sent lively onto this monumental display, bystanders become actors of a poetic dialog between the public and architecture.

La Rochelle Grand Aquarium

Installed permanently at La Rochelle, the Sharks' corridor is a tactile walk over a virtual aquarium. Visitors wander at the surface of a basin where hammer-sharks and Gnathanodons evolve, creating wavelets and interacting with the fishes.

Nokia Trends Lab

Our Lavalamp application has accompanied the fashionable Trends Lab concerts through their tour in more than 20 cities worldwide. Photographed visitors could see their portrait appear inside the bubbles projected onto three giant screens.

Barbican

We developed this audio visualization application that creates visual representations of musical pieces. This organic tree like structure, flowering in relation to the musical input, was used to generate the imagery for Barbican's Great Performers session.

Flash

Studio 2Roqs is specialized in the conception and direction of creative projects around animated image and interactivity.
We are materializing ideas through a variety of medias: creative programming, web design, motion video, electronics, in domains such as artistic installations or interactive communication.
