Paul Destieu

The “MAPPING VIDEO” installation co-produced within CO-ME-DI-A project consisted of working with light architecture in space. Giving back birth to inanimate object, this collaboration between architecture and visual interaction reflects the idea of thinking in a digital world were reality and virtual are mixed up. The artists have been incorporating network elements into the installation in order to foster its distributed qualities.
