Description

ATLAS
DURATION
VR experience: 15 min
AR experience (Hololens2): 10 min
AR Experience (iPad): 10 min
Exhibition visit: 15 min

FORMAT
Augmented reality (Hololens2, Hololens 1, iPads), virtual reality (Oculus Quest), model installation (between 5m² and 100m²)
Up to 15 simultaneous users (5 Hololens, 5 iPads, 5 Quests)

TARGET GROUP
Galleries, museums, theaters, universities, schools,
festivals (music, XR, cinema, digital arts and others)
All audiences.


ATLAS is a work situated between the digital arts and the visual arts, which takes the form of a scenographic exhibition bringing together real models and interactive virtual worlds.





Marie-G. Losseau builds imaginary cities by hand, alone or with adults and children in workshops, while Yann Deval scans the houses in 3D to immerse the audience in virtual experiences.


Using augmented reality and mixed reality, they explore these new spaces, from physical space to virtual reality, and all the layers in between.




In the mixed reality section (with Hololens2 goggles), viewers can grow their own cities within the exhibition.
By throwing seeds onto the floor, walls, ceiling, other visitors or actual models, different types of houses will grow, generated according to their position, their neighbors, the characteristics of the environment (water, wood, concrete...).



In the virtual reality section, spectators will travel to the Seed Museum in Tainan (Taiwan).
They'll plunge into a virtual world in which they can grow their own cities, move around freely and, above all, change scale to fit inside the models.

In the iPad section, viewers will travel through the exhibition and discover hidden mechanisms.



These 3 experiences interact with each other: windows between the different levels of reality enable viewers to communicate with each other.




After being immersed in an archipelago of poetic islands, spectators are invited to build virtual cities by throwing seeds. Each seed causes one or more houses to grow, following certain urban planning rules and adapting to their environment.


There are cities in the clouds, uprooted cities, cities on stilts, flying cities... Spectators create empty, uninhabited cities, allowing them to imagine what goes on inside these dwellings. Named after ancient forgotten cities such as Xanadu, Canope, Kerma and Kite, these cities have a life of their own, with or without user interaction, just like living organisms...


The work invites you to create vast cities in which you can wander and get lost.
ATLAS aims to provoke reflection on urbanism, architecture and their influence on our lifestyles. By seeking to give life to inanimate things...
