The video gaming tool is being widely use in audiovisual art and virtual events. It allows you to simulate real-time scenes and lighting effects. Exhibition visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the surroundings of each installation and can move freely in the room and choose any observation point.
Despite the site-specific nature of the works, the overarching artistic principle behind all of them is the search for a universal language of pure forms. These forms, which correspond to the abstract subjects of the installations, are refined during an extensive detailing process, minimalist in their expressiveness and often even have a functional nature.
The eight installations generate intimate spaces where the viewers sits in contemplation of the structural semiotic elements that compose them: light, sound, movement. Each room triggers different emotions slowly revealing themselves while we explore the space and embrace its unique atmosphere.
The primary expressive element in VOLNA’s work is light and its various characteristics, its interaction with space, as well as its movement, the rhythm of chiaroscuro and the way chiaroscuro scenarios unfold in relation to time. Some works include synchronized sound, created to interact closely with the light’s dramaturgy.
In conclusion the exhibition Keep Yourself Clean attempts to embrace all the real and virtual layers of information that make up each of the works, and then let the works themselves become the determinants of perception.
Each of the contexts will “re-sort” in the virtual world, rethink and obey the laws of perception, and each work, in turn, will become an experience of sensory contemplation.

Refik Anadol immersive installations allow us to leap into an universe of data, featuring a matrix that swallows everything around until there is nothing left outside of it.
His overwhelming data sculptures foresee a post-digital architectural future in which there are no more non-digital realities. A world where man and machine are embedded within each other.
One of the greatest eighteenth-century English artists William Blake famously said, “if the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is – infinite.” Infinite Space is a collection of works that revisits Blake’s statement and seeks to cleanse the doors of perception with the tools available to twenty-first-century artists.
The exhibition explores memories and dreams through the mind of a machine by using data sets ranging from human memories, photographs of Mars, cultural archives and sea surface activity as data sculptures and digital paintings.

Le Groupe Ymagis, spécialiste des technologies numériques pour l’industrie du cinéma, et l’intégrateur Chinois Great Ocean annoncent le lancement de la première salle de cinéma en EclairColor HDR (High Dynamic Range) dans la ville de RuiAn avec l’exploitant Bestar Cinemas. Au sein du tout nouveau multiplexe de Bestar Cinemas, la technologie EclairColor est au cœur du dispositif Premium Large Format (PLF) baptisé « STARX » et qui est équipé d’un écran de 22 mètres de base, de 600 fauteuils et d’un système de projection quad SRX-R515QS de chez Sony Digital Cinema.
« Nous sommes particulièrement heureux de pouvoir présenter pour la toute première fois en Chine cette nouvelle technologie HDR, au sein de notre nouveau multiplexe, situé dans le centre commercial Wuyue à RuiAn« , commente Jiang Yuanxin, Directeur Général Adjoint de Shanghai Bestar Cinemas Management Co. « EclairColor combiné à Sony délivre une qualité d’image supérieure qui apporte encore plus d’émotions à l’écran, améliorant ainsi de façon significative le taux de satisfaction de nos spectateurs. Dans le cadre de notre plan de développement, nous souhaitons ouvrir en Chine d’ici 2021, 50 salles STARX PLF équipées de la technologie EclairColor au sein de nos actuels et futurs cinémas. »
Pour Zhang Liang, Directeur Technique de l’intégrateur Chinois Great Ocean, « la collaboration avec les équipes d’EclairColor s’est parfaitement bien déroulée lors de l’installation de notre premier site à RuiAn. La palette de couleurs qu’apporte EclairColor est beaucoup plus riche et les nuances sont très fines permettant d’obtenir à l’écran de vrais couleurs noires, comme cela a été démontré lors de la projection du film Chinois Dying to Survive en EclairColor. Tous les cinémas, quelle que soit la taille des écrans, peuvent s’équiper en EclairColor HDR. Par ailleurs, le système de projection Sony Digital Cinema 4K peut être utilisé par les exploitants pour projeter aussi bien les contenus masterisés en EclairColor que les contenus au format habituel (« DCI »). »
« Nous espérons pouvoir annoncer dans les prochaines semaines de nouvelles installations en EclairColor grâce à notre premier site témoin à RuiAn avec notre partenaire Great Ocean« , déclare Simon Eyriès, Chef de projet EclairColor. « L’arrivée d’EclairColor en Chine est une étape clef pour les cinéastes et les exploitants chinois qui ont désormais accès à une technologie HDR disponible, efficace et économique. A cette occasion, Eclair (le pôle d’activités contenus du Groupe Ymagis) a produit le premier DCP EclairColor d’un long-métrage produit et filmé en Chine Dying to Survive, réalisé par Wen Muye«

Jocelyn Bouyssy, le directeur général du groupe CGR – premier circuit cinématographique en France avec 73 cinémas – a inauguré le 20 juin dernier en présence de nombreux invités le nouveau complexe cinéma du groupe CGR à la Porte des Lilas à Paris. Un cinéma de 7 salles rebaptisé CGR Paris Lilas, suite au rachat du groupe Cap’Ciné en novembre 2017.

L’ensemble du lieu, entièrement rénové et repensé, dispose d’une salle Premium particulière (la n°4) baptisée ICE (Immersive Cinema Experience) qui se distingue des autres par son côté immersif. C’est la 19ème salle CGR en France à disposer de ce procédé (une exclusivité CGR Cinémas) qui associe qualité visuelle, sonore et confort du spectateur (taille et espacement des sièges inclinables, gradinnage rehaussé…) En plus d’une excellence sonore qui « enveloppe » le spectateur (Dolby Atmos qui met à contribution 53 haut-parleurs dont certains au plafond) et d’une qualité visuelle lumineuse et cristalline (projecteur laser 4K Christie 9P à 60K lumens, 14 pieds-Lambert pour la 2D et 7fL en 3D), la salle dispose de 12 panneaux Led latéraux Philips (technologie LightVibes, propriété de CGR suite à son rachat à Philips) qui prolongent sur les côtés l’environnement sensoriel de l’écran principal et plonge le spectateur dans l’action.

« Il faut compter 1 million d’euros d’investissement pour une salle ICE LightVibes, explique Jocelyn Bouyssy, Dg du groupe CGR. Luc Besson a été le premier à nous faire confiance sur son film Valérian ; notre laboratoire de post-production à La Rochelle se charge d’incorporer la technologie LightVibes aux copies numériques. Pour des raisons de sécurité, c’est un véritable bunker ; je n’ai moi-même pas le droit d’y pénétrer ! » Depuis la sortie du film de Besson, plusieurs studios américains ont fait confiance à Jocelyn Bouyssy et à son concept ICE LightVibes dont Warner, Sony, Universal, Disney Nature… et prochainement Paramount (en discussion). Un succès qui fait qu’aujourd’hui CGR propose sa technologie à d’autres exploitants sans demander de royalties. A charge pour eux d’adapter leurs salles à ce label et son haut standard de qualité. Certains films diffusés dans la salle ICE ne bénéficient pas du format LightVibes – les spectateurs en sont avertis avant d’acheter leur billet – Ils peuvent malgré tout apprécier les bandes-annonces formatées ainsi. CGR espère pouvoir sortir chaque année une vingtaine de films en immersion sensorielle LightVibes.

Le spectateur bénéficie d’un accueil ICE privilégié dès le hall du cinéma. Grâce aux fauteuils numérotés, il peut réserver la place de son choix, en ligne ou directement au cinéma. Le prix des billets reste raisonnable pour cette salle premium : 15€ en plein tarif ; 11€ tarif réduit pour les moins de 26 ans ; et 8€ en matinée et pour les enfants toute la journée. Un véritable succès pour CGR qui proposera 7 nouvelles salles ICE d’ici la fin de l’année.

2018, Paris
Opened on April 13, Atelier des Lumières, created by Culturespaces, is the very first Digital Art Centre in Paris. The 2,000 sqm venue, a 19th century disused foundry, received a complete make-over to allow the hosting of immersive digital art shows on a monumental scale. Its first exhibition is a fantastic immersive digital experience around Gustav Klimt’s work. It’s a stunning show bringing together monumental projection and music for a new artistic experience. Visitors are completely immersed into the work of the Austrian painter thanks to a massive AV set-up: more than 130 Barco PGWU-62 video-projectors were installed together with 35 Modulo Kinetic media servers by Modulo Pi.
A fine-tuned show with spectacular results : animated images of Klimt’s work are projected on the floor, on the walls (who can reach up to 12m) as well as on the ceiling and other typical elements of the venue, such as the foundry’s former chimney. Images flow in rhythm to the music, and appear perfectly moulded to the Atelier’s architecture.
Faced with the technical challenge of equipping such a venue to achieve a 300 million pixels projection, Culturespaces and Cadmos, the integrator for the project, opted for Modulo Pi’s systems from the project study phase.
Relying on his experience with the Carrières de Lumières based in Les Baux-de-Provence, South of France, Augustin de Cointet de Fillain, Multimedia Project Director at Culturespeaces, explains: “We initiated this type of exhibition in 2012 in Les Baux-de-Provence. This was achieved with a lighter AV system since the remarkable venue was already doing the show. However, we quickly realized that we would need a system with much higher potential and stability.”
Roman Hatala, Cadmos’ Director, further adds: “When Culturespaces told us about Atelier des Lumières, opting for Modulo Pi’s systems was evident as they are the most effective and adaptive systems on the market. We wouldn’t have done this project without it.”
After choosing video-projectors with higher resolution for better image quality, the teams of Culturespaces decided to rely upon Modulo Pi’s solutions to better answer their requirements for Atelier des Lumières, but also for their upcoming installations in France and abroad: “We are dealing with installations based on 90 to 130 video-projectors, which is huge. Therefore, we needed a reliable, comprehensive and powerful system that would allow us to work from site to site.”
For its first exhibition, Atelier des Lumières offers a three-part work around paintings of Gustav Klimt, the vision of the artistic director, and the former foundry now hosting the Atelier. “The exhibition is tailor made to the venue”, explains Augustin de Cointet de Fillain.
It’s as much creation as it is staging, with a certain complexity due to the perspectives and different depth levels in the venue. In this context, you need a really flexible operating system.”
The 35 units of Modulo Kinetic showed their efficiency at every stage of the project. Augustin de Cointet de Fillain provides more details about the crucial role played by Modulo Pi’s media servers prior to setting up : “We load a 3D plan of the venue, fill in the type of video-projector we’ll be using and what we want for each wall in terms of image pixel size and luminosity. Then, the Modulo Kinetic tells us where the VPs should be positioned, what the image distortion will be, the luminosity rendering on each area… Once this simulation phase is done on Modulo Kinetic, we move on to the venue.”
When at the venue, the installation and fine-tuning stages – central to the immersive effect – are done so as to give the impression of projecting one single image over the whole surface. Among other things, Modulo Kinetic helped handle the overlaps and soft edges, and made warping easy with the Xmap mode. The result was a seamless projection over the entire show surface.
Installation and fine-tuning had to be done within a limited time frame as Roman Hatala explains: “The audiovisual work comes at the very end. That was a real challenge to have everything set up and adjusted while the renovation work of the venue was still going on.” In this context, the features offered by Modulo Kinetic, allowing several users to work on settings at the same time, was key: “Modulo Kinetic allows shared and mutualized work on geometry. It helped us save a great deal of time by having someone working on a wall on one side, a second person on another side, and a third person working on the floor. To achieve all the fine-tuning in a shortened time, that was a real advantage.”
Once the set-up was over, Modulo Kinetic was then used as a show controller to handle and sequence all media that are part of the show: videos, music, images,… “That is the true force of Modulo Kinetic. It’s a comprehensive system in which anything can be centralized and controlled: videos, lights, sound, and interactive lasers”, comments Augustin de Cointet de Fillain. “Without Modulo Kinetic, we would have had no choice but to manage a string of not very reliable different systems, multiplying the overall system’s fragilities. We needed a super stable system with full and permanent control. We cannot afford to have a huge black wall.”
To make everyday management and maintenance easier, Modulo Kinetic comes with an app that handles the shows through pre-programmed loops, while also giving regular feedbacks ensuring the overall AV system is operating accurately at all times.
The show control and remote maintenance system was programmed by Cadmos’ teams, who have been working with Modulo Pi’s media servers for several years: “Modulo Pi was the best choice for this project. Their systems bring reliability, scalability and an image quality that cannot be reach with any other system”, explains Roman Hatala. “In our museum and contemporary art projects, Modulo Pi’s media servers allow us to work with Apple ProRes or uncompressed contents for better image quality. We also enjoy the capability of integrating custom show control and management options so that our clients can benefit from fully controllable and autonomous systems.”
To pursue its mission of bringing to the public a new way to discover Art, Culturespaces is currently working on the launch of new immersive art exhibitions in the United States and Korea.
These new large-scale projects will also rely upon Modulo Kinetic for the simulation, set-up, show control and maintenance operations. “We were looking for a reliable partner for our upcoming projects, and it will be Modulo Pi”, states Augustin de Cointet de Fillain. “We confirmed that choice due to our requirements in terms of reliability, but also because these systems allow us to anticipate and transpose the creation of our upcoming exhibitions.”
An anticipation made possible thanks to a vignette system that enables to export and work with low definition versions of the media involved in each show. “It helps us anticipate future creations which is very important. This way, we don’t have to close our venues for too long. That gives us a very enjoyable anticipation base.”
