• SLIDERS_3
Cellphone-recorded video scenes inform a database shaped like a data tower. The "performers" are able to make real-time combinations of sounds and pictures, that could almost be qualified as "action moving".
While we have been working until now on movies that already exist and exist in double — Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Gus Van Sant's Psycho for SLIDERS_1 and the two versions of Alfred Hitchcock's The Man who knew too much for SLIDERS_2, we have chosen to make our own pictures for the third opus of SLIDERS and record them with cellphones.
From keywords that will write a semblance of fiction, film scenes will be shot then indexed in order to build a new database. During the SLIDERS_3 performance, it will be possible to reorganize these film scenes and redesign the substance of sounds and pictures in an instrumental game mode close to what is VJing.

This project was run in collaboration with students of the ÉESI and those of the « Space design » BTS of the High School Charles Coulomb and began in october 2007.
It received support from the Poitou-Charentes region and from the Pocket Film Festival (Centre Pompidou, Paris) which lend the cellphones used to record the film scenes.
