Metamorphoses is a video game installation that allows its universe to evolve by exploring its different dimensions. The installation is at the intersection of illustration and tangible interaction.It is an organic machine representing a harmony of opposites, a duality between machine and human. There is a balance to be found: should the machine adapt to the human or the human to the machine?
By participating in Metamorphoses, players are invited to create connections by plugging in a jack cable to solve enigmas. They actively engage in the narrative and interact with the environment. The organic machine embodies a duality by making natural and technological elements coexist in an interactive and evolving environment. Thereby, it creates a mise en abyme and prompts introspection about our own world.
