Interactive and immersive, real time 3D installation project,
2001 - 2012
Into the Hollow of Darkness is composed by several
realisations
:
- 1rst stage, animated textures before black light
: Where It Wants To Appear/Suffer,
14 minutes, silence, 2001
- 2nd stage, black light without interactivity : Eye-Ocean,
generative version, silence, 2004-2007
- 3rd stage, black light with interactivity : Beyond-Round.
Lentir, sentir, sondre, 2008-2012, immersive interactive
version
- Interludes, Performances,
2009-2011, performances arround 'greyings' and other tons.
Intentions :
Into the Hollow of Darkness aims at an experience in perception. In an enclosed field (which can be seen in an head-mounted display, a "cave", or panorama of screens), the viewer will be exposed to various sequences of images. The abstract moving forms --textured and evocative -- will be scarcely visible, because of their low luminosity, of their possible speed, or of their diverse positions in space. Perceptive habits will be destabilised.
The interaction does not consist of the power of manipulating the images. It consists, rather, of a sketch of relationships. It is the behaviour and the attention of the viewer which finally makes visible or invisible the phenomena, which then carry the viewer with them.
The idea is to make the viewer aware, firstly, of the ambivalence of perceptions, and of the sensations which may result from them, and, secondly, of the fragility of relationships, in a " temporality " of the perceptive contact.
