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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Expression is an interactive installation using the area of buildings as surface of collective expression.
During an evening, this installation allows the public to send SMS messages with their mobile phones.
Questioning the scope of individual expression within the public space, this typographical fresco is elaborated in two steps:
Emphasizing the individual speech, messages received on the first wall move taking into account the architecture of the building.
Messages cross themselves without influence in relation to each other.
Then, messages are regrouped on a second wall supplying a structure that summarizes the collective expression of the moment.
The structure is changed and fed to each message sent: the word size varies according to their popularity.
The audience becomes co-author of the fresco where logical connections allow a new level of reading the snippets of relevant sentences, but also with some recompositions sometimes surprising.
The specific acoustic environment produced by the Splank Studio punctuates the appearance and disappearance of messages on both walls. Electrifying and immersive, it plunges the audience into the flow of words in the evening.
