EchoSystem

Interactive audiovisual installation, 2017


EchoSystem is an interactive audiovisual installation, carried out in collaboration with the pedagogical team and the students of the school of Jettingen (France). This artwork was conceived during the Creation En Cours artist-in-residence program, initiated by the Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research, in cooperation with Médicis Clichy Montfermeil.

Two versions of the work have been developed. The first version is an installation comprising a Kinect (capture device to detect the position, shape of the silhouette and movements of users), two speakers, a video projector and a projection screen. A second version installed on the interactive whiteboard of the class, tactile and perennial, allows students to keep track of our creation and rediscover it whenever they wish
