Shanghai Compass $ Over/Night: Shanghai Florent Nicolas Wendling Solo Exhibition is On  in Duolun Museum of Modern Arts in Shan Hai Now.

The exhibition is devided into two parts:Shanghai Compass 1.0 and Over/Night: Shanghai.

Shanghai Compass 1.0

Interactive Installation: a virtual trip in Shanghai.

This interactive installation uses a huge photographs database as animated films, accessed via a clock/compass interface. A preview,

non-interactive projection, has been presented at the Museum of Contemporary Arts (MoCA), Shanghai, in October & November 2007.

Each film is the genesis of each particular photograph. 15.000+ pictures are searched and processed to produce 156 HD films, synchronized on up to 3 giant screens. Shangai Compass Beta will present the HD films on two SD projection screens side by side at Duolun Museum.

The visitors can travel in four dimensions: lateral, vertical, depth and time, walking around the interactive clock/altimeter/compass on the floor. The interface is projected from the ceiling with motion sensors tracking people's position on the floor.

The films being produced from high res photographs, up to 3 HD films can be projected side by side. Soundtracks are designed to match the visuals, including on location live backgrounds and custom designed sound effects.

Over/Night: Shanghai

Photography exhibition: a one night imaginary journey.

With a database of more than fifteen thousand photographs shot during

a two-years night travel in Shanghai, photographer and director Florent Nicolas Wendling scans the divergences of the city, searching for people, lights and shadows and what makes this metropolis so unique.

He now presents a one-night imaginary voyage. From landmarks to harbors, factories, parks and suburbs, Florent explores the depths and heights of the city, from dark shades to dazzling perspectives.

Over/Night is a quest for signs of changes in places colliding with each others and people rushing or suspended in time in the urban landscape.
