Ecosystem Alpha, by Aude Guivarc’h
An augmented interactive sculpture
An imposing mountainous landscape comes to life through projection mapping, immersing visitors in the natural cycles of water, wind, erosion and the changes of seasons. However, the ecosystem reacts to disturbances caused by inattentive or disrespectful visitors, interfering with the projection or affecting the surface. The more the installation is disturbed, the longer it takes for the environment to regenerate. The visitor, responsible for the destruction of the work, thus affects the experience of other visitors.
This symbolic sculpture is meant to be a “sample ecosystem.” It is an allegory of the state of our planet and the impact that humans have on its health. The name of the work refers to the expression “there is no planet B.”
murmuration, by Productions Leitmotiv
A documentary fable of migration
murmuration invites us to meet Kanope, a young Nigerian on his way to Europe. In a clever tale between fable and dream, Kanope reaches out to us and draws us into his hopeful journey. Inspired by real-life stories, the narrative is told by minor migrants who arrived in Sicily between 2015 and 2020. A shocking dive into humanity.

The QuantaScope, by Wallrus Creative Technology Services
Mixed-reality experience – An exploration of virtual world-building and placemaking
Discover the world beyond the veil in one of the very first mixed-reality immersive experiences deployed in Canada using 5G and edge computing. This allows the simultaneous streaming of an immersive environment mapped to the real physical world through geomatic scanning.
Our Quantascope technology allows the creation of virtual worlds that are tied to real physical spaces in order to create a natural feeling of immersion and seamless transition between both worlds.
The technology is currently being tested and piloted in museums, brand activations, and LBEs.
