FREE OPENAIR CINEMA /// The 5th edition of CinéTransat took place from the 11th of July to the 18th of August 2013. With CinéTransat you go from an individual classic cinema situation - where you'll be told to be quiet at your first crunch of popcorn - to a collective experience where the crowd applauds the good guys, boos the baddies, shares picnics, sings and dances, together ! The film serves as a pretext to bring people together and create shared experiences.

Fil de sens - Carouge

VIBRANT ANAMORPHOSIS /// A dark base planted with hundreds of metallic stalks; we feel there is meaning in there but have yet to grasp it. Start to link the stalks with coloured string, filling in the spaces. Slowly, shapes start to appear. The pictures formed are anamorphoses - distorted images that appear to right themselves only from a specific point of view, following the art of "secret perspective".

JOBS ON THE SCENE /// How could we present the principal missions of the OSEO in a interactive and original way? This institution's activities became 8 "live paintings". Actors took place in the big decorated 3D frames, improvising mute funny stories. They sometimes interacted with the public, to make them part of the story or seeking help. These creations brought animation, without being too intrusive. In collaboration with OSEO.

ART AND SWAPS /// Generate spontaneous encounters : locals and passers-by, or colleagues sharing a building, can put any object into the box or take anything they want from it.
