LE MONDE DES MONTAGNES | ECAL DIPLOMA 2008 | CAMILLE SCHERRER

Under the viewer’s eyes, the frontier between the real and virtual worlds becomes blurred. “Le Monde des Montagnes” is an interactive set-up to discover the secrets hidden in the pages of an ordinary book… The shadow of a bird passes over the book, foxes’ lanterns light up the text, paper mountains emerge… The strange and magical world of the Swiss mountains is hidden somewhere between these pages.

This artwork has been developped with the precious collaboration of Julien Pilet, CV.lab (computer vision at épfl, cvlab.epfl.ch ), Fanny Riedo and Nicolas Henchoz of the EPFL+ECAL lab. www.epfl-ecal-lab.ch
