Description

Responsive audiovisual installation where visitors playfully stack, as if pieces of a giant interactive puzzle, plastic bins that act as symbols of containers transiting world markets. Video-mapping projections react to the new sculptural composition of the public. Sound and visual atmospheres, recalling geopolitical realities linked to migration and globalization, transform in real time thanks to a pattern recognition system.
