Fenêtre Augmentée 02 - Prats-de-Mollo

Designed and directed by artist and curator Thierry Fournier, the "Augmented window" project proposes an interactive window on a landscape as a collective exhibition protocol.

This application presents the second "Augmented window" exhibition (Prats de Mollo, Eastern Pyrenees, 2012). It features 17 works by Christelle Bakhache and Clément Feger (researchers in social sciences), Jean Cristofol and François Parra (philosopher and artist), Juliette Fontaine, Thierry Fournier, Simon Hitziger, Tomek Jarolim, Jean-François Robardet (artists).
A specific vantage point on a landscape is filmed continuously by a camera. Several artists and authors are invited to create works that take this landscape as their point of departure: videos, interactive works, drawings, recordings, interviews… These contributions are laid over the camera’s footage, and transmitted live on a large tactile screen, which is set up vertically. To discover the works, viewers browse this “window” into the image’s spatial depth. Since 2011, 19 artists and authors have created more than 200 works within this project.

"Augmented window" is a travelling series: each landscape leads to new invitations and creations. Three exhibitions have been organized so far: Centre Pompidou (Paris) in 2011; Prats-de-Mollo (Eastern Pyrenees) in 2012; Friche la Belle de Mai / Panorama (Marseille) in 2013.

This edition on iPad offers the possibility to experiment the artworks and exhibitions on tablet and remotely, with their respective landscape being streamed lived from each site.
