Installation and new media
video tracking
Dérive
Dérive is a networked interactive installation that invites the public to explore 3D models of urban spaces that are transformed according to environmental data collected in real time on the Web. A video tracking interface enables the public to interact with a large scale projection.
The installation presents 3D point clouds of cities in Canada (Sherbrooke and Montreal), USA (New York) and France (Lyon and Orleans). Other locations will be added in the future. These models are realized by the use of photogrammetry and geomatic data.
In a time where the reality of urban territories hybridizes with the digital world, the installation uses fluctuating data provided by the network to translate the evolution of meteorological and astronomical phenomena affecting the locations shown at the moment of the public's experience. Connecting the actual and the virtual, Dérive inquires the phenomenology of mixed realities and probes into the changing nature of our perception and representation of the world.
