L'alter-Monde Original

Audiovisual work

Sandrine DEUMIER / Myriam BLEAU［France / Canada］

An immersive audiovisual project for full-dome format with a theme on a potential symbiosis between the human being and a state of rediscovered nature. Through ecosophy and inter-species mutualism, it explores how we humans could resonate with a mutant nature, a plant-becoming environment, or non-human lives. The visualization designed in multiple scenes evokes a cybernetic garden that combines mechanical and biological beings. In there, humans are huddled around each other floating in a sea of wires that can be seen either as electronic parts, plants, animals, or insects. The work, in search of a non-human and hyper-natural bio sensitivity, addresses the critical issues of climate change and extinction of species while offering the viewers an immersive and potentially world view changing experience.
