An interactive installation tribute to Alain Guiraudie and human emotions.

In the style of a video game, at the heart of a customizable story dreamed up by filmmaker Alain Guiraudie in collaboration with  Neïl Beloufa, Grégoire Bell and ebb.global, you become a traveler on a hostile island, where climate disturbance has forced the inhabitants into self-sufficiency. Various encounters will determine your fate: will you join this strange community or leave alone once more?

In tribute to the worlds of artist Alain Guiraudie, experimenting with ultra-contemporary tools and artificial intelligence to generate narratives and images,  Neïl Beloufa and his collaborators reactivate an artistic fantasy that is as fascinating as it is terrifying: an entity other than our own minds generates our stories and projects us into unpredictable or unexpected myths. Far from fairytales and adventures with dragons, here you may become an animalist vegetarian or be frantically looking for your sexual partner. Rest assured, however, no previous experience is necessary: adventure island is open to all, and everyone will find their own way according to the ups and downs of their avatar's motivations and frustrations. 

The installation will become a feature of Les Carmes parking garage. Having unpacked mechanisms of the representations of power in his videos and installations,  Neïl Beloufa now places with the codes of an ultraconnected world and explores how AI impacts the output of our imaginations and our insatiable need for stories.
