2 hours on the Arc de Triomphe. Alone. Real-time.
13 projectors. A monumental surface. And a choice : pre-render everything, or play it live.
I chose live.
Pre-rendered mapping means weeks of production, a fixed result, and zero flexibility. Once it runs — it runs. If the crowd shifts, if the DJ accelerates, if the moment asks for something else, the content plays anyway.
Real-time means the pixels follow your hands.
I could hold a composition for 15 minutes, evolve it, break it, restart. The image responds to what's happening, not to what was planned three weeks before.
There was no technical sync between the DJ and my visuals. Just listening. Adapting in real time to where his set was going.
That's what real-time actually means. Not just a technical feat. A form of improvisation.
