Immersive (2018)
ARCAAN Collective (France)
The winner in the category Audience Prize
International Competition for the Intermedia Artwork 2018
Immersive plays with the Op art concept and minimalism content to produce illusions and illimited perspective. Projection plays with delay and echo in a rythmic progression of abstract patterns. It wants to surprise the viewer to get out of his custom point-of-view and question the perceptions of our daily reality and his relation with the environment. The ascending movement and the use of stroboscopic images gives a new feeling of time and the sensation to be fully immersed. A surrounded sound system accentuates the sensations of an infinite space and the sound-track is inspired by electronic melody derived from pure sinus and digital noises recreating a real electro-acoustic noisist orchestra. Visual Team : Jeremy Oury, Michelle Falcon. Sound Team : Antoine Briot, Alexandre Laille.

Collectif ARCAAN combines audio and visual skills to make singular mapping or digital installation and promote a fresh vision of audiovisual arts. We pursue explorations into intermedia forms with minimalist design and electroacoustic compositions with abstract touch that can work together to create a synaesthesic partition in various way. They have won several art prizes in Europe, including the Jury Prize at FIMG 2015 and the Public Prize at ICIA 2018.
