Kristallijn

       In 2015, I felt space vacillate for a fraction of a second during a Nicolas Jaar Gig in Ghent. Something opened and the universe wasn't quite the same right after. 

This piece was created to illustrate the emotion I felt at that particular moment and in this particular place : Kristallijn.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KRISTALLIJN is a short first-person ambient game experimenting around the strobe effect.

It’s an experience about motion without motion, where the interval between two flashes becomes an unresolved space, questioning the continuity of our perceptions and our existences.

In Kristallijn, you control a spectator without a body evolving in an industrial environment. In this space reminiscent of a free party, you encounter a dancer who does not seem to pay any attention to you, yet shows a strange presence.

The project started in june 2019 from a simple question : given two flashes of lights, what happens in between?

It plays on the strobe effects, time dilation, subtle space modifications and a deep atmosphere to create anticipation and suspense in a fifteen minutes audio visual experience.
