Bei Dai He is a panoramic video, looped in order to immerse you in the landscape of a Chinese beach resort.
Escape and meditate at the other end of the world.
Luc Courchesne is a fervent lover of shores that provide the repetitive and random encounters of two very different elements, Water and Earth. Since 2007, his "Bords de Mer" (Sea shores) series has been exploring this moving border symbolizing interpersonal relationships. Luc Courchesne has walked with his camera on a dozen of shoreline in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, France, Finland, China and Japan. This anamorphic video panorama installation comprises a LCD screen, a computer and a circular frame.

Luc Courchesne, a video artist dedicated to interactivity and immersion

Luc Courchesne lives and works in Montréal. He is a founding member of the Société des Arts Technologiques and Professor at the school of industrial design of the University of Montréal, where he has been introducing students to media and experiential design issues. In 1984, he already matched computer technologies to video by jointly making Elastic Movies, one of the first interactive videos. An internationally recognized video artist, he has created some thirty installations and series of images. Thanks to the Panoscope 360, a device he invented, the viewer is being immersed in the heart of his works. In 1997, he won the Grand prix of the 1997 Biennale of the Inter Communication Center (ICC) in Tokyo for his No.1 landscape installation. He is represented by the Pierre-François Ouellette Art Contemporain gallery in Montréal and the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in New York.
