Concept: Passages is a public space installation that aims to connect intimately people in different cities. This installation presents the random passer-by with a moving and transiting experience where he/she has to engage the entire body to uncover the possibilities of a relationship with a stranger.
A video documentation (see link below) presents the project as it was working at the Media Lab Europe in Dublin and shows the interaction principles.
The installation has been exhibited between Paris and Strasbourg during the Festival Emergences and Les Nuits Electroniques de l'Ososphère (september-october 2005).
