PRESENTED WORK
PURBLUE, INSTALLATION, QUEBEC, 2004

PURBLUE Project takes 3 forms :
The first part consists in a web site, constituted of interactive animations manipulated with the help of a keyboard. www.purblue.org. The second part consists in a video & music performance integrating formal elements of the site and adding own elements from video medium. The third part consists in a global environment to permit to all the language elements to coexist as an immersive installation. For Eaux Arts Électroniques !, the project consists in building an immersive device that put in relation the Blue colour and the entire site. The video is used as light. For this project, two metaphors are effective. The immersion in a environment and the circulation of information. The idea of immersion is borrowed to the theme of water. The public is dived in the blue colour. (www.purblue.org)
