- Dubitaxis -

Currently doing a master degree in digital creation (Master Création Numérique) at the Jean-Jaures Toulouse University, I have to develop a project regarding to my study. The purpose of my project is the doubt. In a world where everything looks controled more and more by science and technologies, I want to give a biger place to the doubt and question its place in our lifes. For that, I want to do and immersive and interactive movie. 360° projetable but the projection of the scene will be done juste in the same direction as the sepactator’s look. The story will be done by the specificities of sequence each spectator will creat.

It is an ambitious project because it takes into account lot of field and knowledges that I haven't seen in my life and i have to learn lot of things by myself. There are the differents field i must do:

• The doubt and the reality
• The idea
• The instalation
• The objects (3D printer)
• Plug and code
• The tests
• A 360° movie (videos)
• The final result (I hope!!!)

The doubt and the reality

As I said just befor, the doublt is the subject of my project. In a world where everythings look controled more and more by science and technologies, I want to give a bigger place to the doubt. I want to create an immersive instalation where a movie is projetable on 360° controling by the spectator. The movie is projetable in a cylinder that would be a kind of cylindrical white screen but the room where it is projected is darck, black. The spectator will be able to see smothing only by the light of the projector when this one will project (see the part "plug and code"). Entering inside the cylindrical space is a metaphor for fertilization, like a spermatozïde come inside an ovum. Once the spector is inside, he will put a headphone on his head that would be the condition of the actualisation of the virtual world. The condition to see this new world. the fact os putting the advanced-headphone on his physical head is also a metaphor for intrauterine development. This is a part of his new body to live in this world where his (pysical body is not enought). Once his development is done, the projector will turn on and display an image of the movie. The firt lights are like the birth in this world. however the first thing displayed is not predetermined. There is not begining and no end. The first scene that he will see will depend of the sequence of this virtual world such as we donc choos the date and the place where we born. His eyes are not his phisicals eyes only anymore but also the projector and it his the same for his brain that will be and hybride with the advanced-headphone (Helmet-brain).

There will be a scenario that will happen in this movie but the spectator is allowed, like in the real life, to be attentiv at this one and follow it or not at all. However sometimes, also like in the real life, some thing will happen in the place where he is and even if he would have preferd to not see it, he will be obliged and a victime of the environement. He will not be able to controle everything.

There will also be a sound design in 360° and it will creat some stimuli thaht the spectaor will be able to find the source or not. These sound will be relative to the scenario displayed and what happen in this scenarios. There will also be some sound that will come from the real. In fact the instalation will not be totaly disconnected from the reality and all the soudn that will happend arround will be earth be the spectator. Furthermore the will be some kind of "parasitic sounds" that would uestion the nature of these onces thank to their ambiguity. Are they from the virtual or the real? That woul also question the place of the doubt, our critical sens and our perception of the reality.

The final result
