Back in 2007, I was lucky enough to work again with french collective of artists qubogas on an exciting, crazy new project commissioned by London's Tate Modern.

Watercouleur Park is an interactive animation running in the browser, using flash player. It randomly displays a series of 14 landscapes in which the user gets losts from the lack of spatial reference. You can launch the project directly in your browser using this link. Keep in mind that this is fairly long to load, and takes about 15 minutes to close the first loop of landscapes.

As usual, our main workflow first consisted in scanning hundreds of paper based color drawings and collages.

I then created a dedicated authoring environement for Laura, Jean-François and Morgan so that they could easily create 2.5D (aka postcard in space) compositions out of their scans. 

After that, I created a series of unpredictable behaviors for the composition elements, and made up an overall pseudo universe allowing the proper loading and rendering of what was at the time a very demanding program in terms of system requirements.

The final touch of the program, which plays a huge role in its personnality was sound design. We hired famous electronic musician for the whole work, including Nicolas Baudoux (aka DJ Elephant Power), Michael Mørkholt, and RBDX.
