Excerpt:
“Le 6b and in.plano invite you to collectively teleport into the full-scale in.plano studio, accompanied by a tour guide, for a 15-minute visit.
In this first experiment, the explorer-visitors don’t need a virtual reality headset. They simply close their eyes, use their imagination, and teleport as a group with their guide on a 10-minute journey. Movement and group interaction within the virtual spaces occur naturally.
Since the destruction of its studio, In.plano has created a space for open research and innovation — a virtual place, without a physical studio, dedicated to its lost works, forever vanished, and to new uses of large-scale collective imagination. This evolving prototype experience foreshadows new practices in the fields of culture, education, and research.
From plaster to imagination: through the various experiments developed within, this headset-free virtual space reconnects with the original spirit of dreams, imagination, history, and the museum of vanished works.
Warning! Close your eyes!… really close your eyes!… you are about to enter a place that no longer exists. (…)”
Performed as part of the exhibition D’oreilles à bouche, curated by Léa Djurado, at Le 6b, Saint-Ouen, Île Saint-Denis – With the support of the Fondation de France.
