Summary
Restless Glows is an experimental video project exploring the relationships between light, the human body and technology. Drawing on speculative research that brings together contemporary utopias and ancient archetypes associated with artificial lighting, the project examines cultural influences between Western and East Asian contexts.
The work combines CGI animation with footage captured in China, Switzerland and Italy. Its animated sequences feature ethereal, luminous and constantly evolving avatars brought to life through motion capture.
For Restless Glows, Artanim captured the movements of two body-flying performers in a vertical wind tunnel using an Xsens inertial suit, as well as dance performances recorded in the studio with the Vicon optical motion capture system.

Summary
Swiss professional freeride skier Nicolas Vuignier approached Artanim to create short 3D animations of freestyle ski jumps.
For the project, Artanim spent a day in Crans-Montana capturing Nicolas on the slopes using an Xsens inertial motion capture suit. His body was also 3D scanned to create a digital representation of the skier.
The captured motion and 3D scan were then combined to animate the virtual skier and reproduce his freestyle movements in 3D.

Summary
Wind Clothing is a 3D scanning project developed with the Fédération Française de Ski (FFS) to support the design of aerodynamic clothing for French ski cross athletes.
Artanim performed high-resolution 3D body scans of the athletes, providing accurate body models that were used to create custom-fitted garments optimized for downhill aerodynamics.
The project contributed to the development of technical apparel ahead of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics, where even small aerodynamic improvements can translate into valuable hundredths of a second.

Summary
The Next Round is a fiction project by Swiss artist Quentin Lannes exploring the body, sport and virtual interaction through boxing.
The project imagines two boxers located hundreds of kilometers apart, each fighting a digital representation of the other. Their movements are captured and transmitted through motion capture, creating a confrontation that unfolds simultaneously across physical and virtual spaces.
For The Next Round, Artanim captured the movements of boxers in action to support the development of the project.
