Originally a video mapping installation created for the singular architecture of the Centre Pompidou Metz museum, Paleodictyon The App is its digital counterpart.
Developed by Simon Geilfus, who co-directed the original piece, the application makes use of the same video mapping technique, however here it is instead transposed to a digital space, where virtual projectors give light to a 3D model of the museum. A digital replica.
More information about the Paleodictyon installation can be found here.
Controls Hold the left mouse button to rotate the camera. Hold the right mouse button to zoom in or out.
Important This application works only with Google Chrome and requires a fairly recent computer with a good graphics card and enough bandwidth. Keep this in mind when choosing your playback quality.
Thanks for watching!
