This project, upon the initiative of l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, has been conceived as a meta- monument where are gathered video sequences recorded by a camera with GPS. People are screaming while biking in a 500 m circle in the countryside. The traces of this route can be visualized thanks to lines that form a sort of tower in the virtual space, where it can go on indefinitely. On these lines, in an order that looks more like a music score than a succession of shootings, mobile video screens simultaneously display the image of the performances. In this version with Augmented Reality, this tower (or tunnel) of screams superimposes itself on the image of the physical space where the captations are happening. When reading this image with the camera of an iPad, the virtual architecture reveals a reality that’s defined by another space-time.
