GIFF UNLIMITED XR ROADSHOW @PLATEFORME 10
The XR ROADSHOW caravan transcends the space-time of the GIFF to broaden access to immersive creation. Our mobile setup is especially designed to offer digital experiences that push the boundaries of audiovisual creativity and propel spectators into a decidedly unprecedented exploration. This initiative is in partnership with RTS and with the support of the Canton of Geneva and the UBS Foundation for Culture.
We are delighted to announce that the first public occurrence of the XR Roadshow is the result of a collaboration with the arts district of Lausanne, Plateforme 10, as part of the “Immersion” season. From December 16 to 23, the XR Roadshow will be on the esplanade of Plateforme 10 with a program featuring 4 experiences.
We are pleased to welcome you for free at this unique immersive exhibition, marking the beginning of our itinerant journey across Switzerland.
BEHIND THE SCENES: THE MAKING OF WORLDS
21-22 USA
THIERRY LOA | 2023 | CA | 37’ | VR | NO dialogue
Take a 360-degree view of the world: how can we capture our times to better bear witness to the impact our culture has on the world? Using a minimalist documentary format in which testimony and voiceover are abandoned in favor of a hypnotic soundscape, this American episode exposes the reality of the modern age. Between cities and highways, industrial facilities and climate destruction, nature has become almost invisible. A terrifying, mechanical vision of our future sure to move audiences.
(HI)STORY OF A PAINTING: THE LIGHT IN THE SHADOW
QUENTIN DARRAS, GAËLLE MOURRE | 2022 | GB | 15’ | VR | VO. FR
This second episode of the series Hi(story) of a Painting outlines the powerful portrait of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most famous and sought-after Baroque painters of her time. This immersive dive into 17th-century Europe highlights the courage and determination of this artist in the face of the obstacles and violence inherent in a patriarchal society. It invites us to question our own representations of the place of women in the history of art. An intimate and inspiring 3D animation experience within the work of a crucial figure in art history.
FROM THE MAIN SQUARE
PEDRO HARRES | 2022 | DE | 19’ | VR | No dialogue
It’s a classic tale of colonization, followed by gentrification, culminating in a civil war. Illustrated with an equally sardonic and endearing black marker drawing, a sequence of often amusing, brutal, or both scenes narrates these hopes, transformations, and polarizations that shape our societies. All of this is presented from the privileged 360° perspective of [what used to be] the central square of the village.
