immersive INSTALLATION – 2024

The Cosmic Caravan G.S. 3000 is an immersive installation that re-contextualizes a family caravan into a mobile sensory laboratory. This practicable work questions the liminal spaces between stasis and flow, interiority and exteriority, temporality and futurity. The installation invites participants to become participants in a still odyssey through constantly evolving soundscapes and visual terrains. Questioning established spatio-temporal construction, she creates a microcosm where each element – sound, light, vibration – contributes to a unique multisensory symphony that transcends traditional artistic boundaries.

This piece embodies the quintessence of contemporary nomadism and urban dynamism while remaining anchored in a dialectic of nostalgia and innovation. It serves as a metaphor for our globalized society: a space where participants are both collective and individual, reflecting the diversity and unity of modern human experience. The Cosmic Caravan embraces the constant flux of our world while providing a space for contemplation on our fundamental identity. It embodies multidisciplinary curiosity, seamlessly integrating visual art, sound design, interactive technology and live performance into a cohesive whole. This work celebrates urban life in all its complexity: from daily routines to nighttime vibrations, from technological advances to the hidden gems of historic cityscapes. It invites the public to explore, interact and meet in a neutral space, promoting a true human and artistic exchange.

Guillaume Milochau /ΠΡΑΞΕΔ /PRAXED

In the interstices of experimental sound, visual modalities and immersive installations, Parisian self-taught Praxed negotiates the liminal spaces of artistic practice. His work, deeply imbued with Dickian ontologies, questions the malleable boundaries of temporality, consciousness and perceived reality.

Praxed’s versatile approach synthesizes classical guitar articulations, modular synthesis topologies, interactive video diagrams, and three-dimensional sculptural interventions to construct sensory paradigms that destabilize conventional perceptual frameworks.

His signature project, “Fracture Space Time,” constitutes a tour de force in its innovative recontextualization of Dick’s literary corpus, seamlessly integrating video projections, electrified sculptural forms, and live performative elements.
