HIATUS
Focus XR Suisse
Information
In a distant, lush landscape, a nuclear fission has just taken place. In the upheaval of this apocalypse, creatures long dormant begin to awaken: the Yokai. Hiatus is an immersive work whose narrative is shaped above all through movement, bodies and the perceptual transformation of space. Driven by motion capture and real-time technologies, the experience invites us to move through a range of non-human points of view.

Artist / Studio biography
Camille de Dieu and Laurent Novac, born in 1986, live and work in Geneva. In 2016, they decided to assemble their personal experience around sound, light and space acquired during the last ten years.
Mixing scientific references and fiction in their creations, they engage, together, a research on the discovery of new unreal territory as well as thinking about new life scenario.
Artists and engineer, their projects are showcased in real time, allowing them to anchor theirs imaginary and future territory in particular and intimate presents.
They create new worlds and sculpt new sonorities allowing a total immersion in parallel universes.
