Haptic canal

Interactive installation proposing the experimentation of a new sensory approach


Settled in the two mk2 cinemas opposite each other on the Bassin de La Villette, this interactive installation allows the public of the cinemas to express and share the emotions the film they have just seen. It is through touch, using haptic telepresence technology, that spectators explore, communicate, exchange and show their perceptions,
impressions, states of mind, on the cinematographic experience they have just lived


Presented during Futur en Seine Festival, at the mk2 Quai de Loire & Quai de Seine cinemas | 2011


In collaboration with architect Valérie de La chapelle • Interaction programme: Sylvie Tissot • Development of the haptic telepresence platform: Wu Han & Mehdi Ammi • Light design: Françoise Diraison • Furniture design: Anna Farina


Funded by La Fracture Numérique, Anabole, Limsi/CNRS Lab, mk2. With the support of the Ile de France region, Oséo and the CFI [Centre Francilien de l’Innovation] • With the participation of Epson France
