Everything
2021, Paris, Bordeaux - France
Nohlab’s immersive experience EVERYTHING, observes everything as it is, questions all this existence and suggests new possibilities in three parts. EVERYTHING was on exhibition at Atelier des Lumières & Bassin des Lumières in 2021, and part of Nohlab's immersive exhibition at RDS, Dublin in 2022.
Through the eyes of a candid narrator, who follows the storyline in sync with us, visuals & sound follow a narrative where science, philosophy and metaphysics converge. We observe elements that construct what we call our lives and ways of ascribing meanings to things. This way we can grasp how the vast system of existence enveloping us is prone to many questions.
Shouldn’t we yet start pondering upon what already is? Can we really perceive all there is with our limited senses? Are we at the very end of evolution? Could the system of life we built be not only 0’s or 1’s? Are we held back and entrapped by systems we created? Do we really have free will? Maybe this is only a contingency which our subconscious and evolutionary process carried us to.
Shouldn’t we extend the limits of our awareness yet? What then, could we become? Embracing how much we don’t know might lead us to accept becoming in a constant state of transformation and probabilities. With numerous layers we can neither perceive nor think about with our limited capabilities, there’s still a lot to discover and be fascinated about.

Technical Summary >>
Paris’s famous digital art musem Atelier des Lumieres has an enourmous 3000m2 projection area with approximately 100K resolution in total. Being able to create visuals for this gigantic resolution and imagine the venue as a whole was a great challange in itself. As the technical director, fot this specific project, I made a custom project template which allowed all the team to have a live preview of our content during the creative process as a 3d simulation.
We created different setups for each scene of our 4 minute long piece. And had a different approach for spectators perception for each scene.
By creating this custom template, we had the opportunity to be able to use the Atelier des Lumieres 100K projection area as one whole canvas for some particular scenes.

Festival Summary >>
The IMMERSIVE ART FESTIVAL is the leading festival devoted to graphic design and immersive digital design.
Digital design involves ‘digital sculpting’, a process of using computer-generated images to design living spaces and create interaction with the public. The projected images, combined with sound design, make it possible to create unique immersive worlds.
The artistic collectives in the festival are some of the most influential collectives in the world of the digital arts. They will present an original work of immersive art, adapted to the Atelier des Lumières. The techniques used by the artists may combine video, photography, motion design, and sound spatialisation.
The works must not only use all the Atelier’s technological power, but also present a completely immersive and original artistic concept.
We received 3 different awards from the jury at the Award ceremony which held at the end day of the festival.
