[ISEA2023] Paper: Rémi Sagot-Duvauroux, Nils Quaetaert, François Garnier & Rémi Ronfard — The Hitchcock Experience: a Spatial Montage project

Abstract

Full Paper. Theme Immersion(s) Subtheme Symbiotic Imaginaries

Our research-creation project explores a practice of montage in room scale VR. We invited users to live an immersive version of the plane sequence in Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest”. We propose a montage that adapts in real time to the displacements of the body and gaze of the spectator, creating a new dialectic between narrative and body rhythms.

  • Rémi Sagot-Duvauroux is a film editor and VR Designer. He is part of the SACRe doctoral program where he is working on his Ph.D: “The body-montage”. Based on the creation of artistic and experimental dispositifs, his research explores techniques and concepts of Montage as a narrative, discursive and poetic vector in immersive digital experiences.
