Summary

In an immersive exhibition where fragments of forest are displayed, two ecosystems interact, and sometimes in opposition: on one side the nature, with its fauna and flora, and on the other side a museum space with its spectators, its protocols, its rules and its staff. In this context, the user is asked to navigate between the two ecosystems and to play a dual role, moving in turn from the position of viewer or of being watched. This invitation to live the museum experience by transgressing the traditionally imposed limits leads the user to discover a series of poetic, ironic, disturbing and spectacular narrative paintings, and to question at the end of their journey their relationship with nature and its showcase. By being thus projected inside the museum system, the user will be able to truly measure the scope of the shock produced by the meeting of the two ecosystems.

For this immersive experience, we were in charge of the motion capture and retargeting of animations on the 3D characters, as well as of the VR application development.
