Description of the author:

"Autonomous white lines inhabit the rectangular space on the ground. They react to passers-by, incarnate their past paths and near futures. Autonomous and interactive, they play with displacement, anticipate and adapt... returning to their own touch judge. The Mobile Lines are an interactive installation
Les Lignes-mobiles (The mobile-lines) is an interactive installation designed to insert itself in the reality of a public place, and which stems from a simple concept: a video projector projects lines on the floor, both according to the passers-by and in an autonomous way, improvised by a computer. These lines concretize, in a signaletic way, links and directions for the passers-by themselves or between them.
The lines are white, minimal, fluid, semi-autonomous, and sensitive to the passers-by. They appear and disappear, cross in arabesques. They choose some passers-by and get attached to them
until they leave the projection zone, following them or pre-

 

ceding them in their movement. They tend to create links between them. Les Lignes-mobiles set up an interaction zone, an interference zone between passers-by chosen at random, or between a passer-by and the line that got attached to him.
Les Lignes-mobiles is an installation designed to be adapted to the dynamic of the installation place: wandering or not, fast or slow, crossing or path, etc..."
