Summary
The experimental video project Being Laser – Restless Limbs explores the interactions between light, human body, and technology. Synthesizing speculative research that combines contemporary utopias and ancient archetypes related to artificial lighting, it highlights the cross-influences between Western and East Asian cultures. This project combines computer-generated animated sequences (CGI) with real footage in China, Switzerland, and Italy. The animated sequences feature ethereal, luminous, and ever-changing avatars, brought to life using motion capture techniques.

Summary
We were contacted by Nicolas Vuignier, a Swiss professional freeride skier, for the making of short 3D animations of freestyle jumps. To this aim, we spent a day at Crans-Montana to follow Nicolas on the slopes where we performed his motion capture using our Xsens motion capture suit. His body was also 3D scanned using body scanning technology and as a result the virtual skier was animated.

Summary
We collaborated with the French Ski Federation (FFS) to make 3D scans of their best ski cross athletes. From the 3D bodies, garments were made to measure to maximize the aerodynamics of athletes at downhill. Technical clothing that earned them precious hundredths at the Olympics in PyeongChang 2018.

Summary
We were contacted by the Swiss artist, Quentin Lannes, to capture movements of boxers in action for his fiction project.
The Next Round is a fiction that questions the practices of the body (here in sport and more specifically in boxing) in the era of virtual reality devices. A boxer whose movements are recorded by motion capture, fights a numerical simulation of another boxer, present in another physical space, hundreds of kilometers from him.
