In the heart of a dark city of suspended islands, a young boy strives to light every street lamp and spread a healing glow. He needs your help, because he can’t do it alone.
Build bridges with the wooden planks between the islands, then watch the automaton walk over them. These building blocks are the bridge between the real and virtual worlds.
L’Allumeur de réverbères (The lamplighter) is an interactive installation born of collaboration between students in the Arts et Technologies de l’Image program at Université Paris 8. The diversity of their technical and artistic backgrounds directs their creation towards a hybridization of media, exploring new ways of involving the viewer in the work through innovative interactions.
This project explores the link between the tangible and the digital, combining physical construction and video projection.
This installation was prototyped as part of a student project and presented at Laval Virtual in 2018. With the installation, they won the IVRC & Special Mention Interactivity award at Laval Virtual.
This enabled them to present the installation in Tokyo, Japan, at the IVRC DCExpo, where it won second prize in the ‘Main Track’, also in 2018.
Production ends in 2025, and Random Bazar broadcasts the game all around the world.
