The variety of undulating surfaces that cover the Pompidou Center in the city of Metz (France) serves as a screen for a spectacular videomapping by the AntiVJ collective.

Paleoductyon

The collective AntiVJ recently covered the roof of the Pompidou Center in the city of Metz (France) with a spectacular video mapping. This black and white projection is based on the paleodictyon nodosum, the oldest known living fossil discovered by Peter A. Rona at the bottom of the ocean, whose shape resembles the inner part of the corrugated cover of the center.

The project led by Simon Geilfus, Yannick Jacquet and Thomas Vaquié and named Paleoductyon thus combining light and sound with animal micro-architecture and human construction.

Precisely the variety of surfaces that cover the center has been one of the main challenges of this assembly for which the AntiVJ collective developed its own software for the composition of the video and audio of the video mapping.

It should be noted that AntiVJ have developed an application web (only for Google Chrome) in which it is possible to interact with the mapping as if it were a projection in 360 degrees.
