Scènes de Ville
Interactive video Mapping
Chroniques, Biennale des Imaginaires Numériques
Aix-en-Provence, France
2024
The “Scènes de Ville” (Scenes of the City) video mapping offers an immersive artistic experience in Aix-en-Provence. Video projections and sound installations across the city’s façades combine reality with the captured essence of the surroundings to create a unique atmosphere. Each projection replicates a specific point in time, providing an immersive experience that combines reality, memories and emotions.
Artistic creation meets city heritage, turning façades into vibrant canvases filled with visual and acoustic narratives. This nocturnal initiative redefines the urban experience, providing a new perspective for residents and visitors alike. By exploring the links between sound, imagery and interactive technology, this project involves the audience in the story of the city using a Kinect camera. Interactivity generates an emotional connection, prompting reflection on urban history, culture and identity. These scattered nocturnal displays generate unexpected encounters, bringing to light the memories and ghosts of the city.
“Scènes de Ville” bridges the gap between inside and outside, and between past and future. An invitation to reflect on the history, culture and identity of the city, all while exploring innovative ways of conceiving pleasurable experiences in the digital age. The project serves as a reminder that the city is far more than a physical structure. Indeed, it is a living entity shaped by the shared narratives of its inhabitants over time and space.
A project co-produced by Chroniques, Biennale des Imaginaires Numériques, and 6MIC as part of the CHRONIQUES CRÉATIONS Platfor. Supported by the DRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, the Région Sud Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and the city of Marseille.
