Maurice Benayoun proposed his first virtual reality installation. created and produced by Z-A Production : <em>Is God flat ?<\/em> That was the first step extended by the presentation on the Canal + stand to Imagina 1995 in Monte Carlo, of : <em>Is the Devil curved ?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This Virtual Reality (V.R.) installations are based on the same principle :<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Is God flat?<\/em> we are in a bricked-up room and we can dig corridors in real-time through a three-dimensional material.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p>For who cares of technical details, here we have a triple performance: the architectural database is rebuilt frame by frame. The visitor can choose any direction on the horizontal plane he wants. The corridors built remain in memory and can cross-check themselves until they form a very complex architectured space. Thus, we can carry out what can be called Boolean operations (intersection of volumes) in real-time. In addition to the concept, the material through which we dig is a 3-D texture, remaining coherent whatever the section axis is. In <em>Is God flat?<\/em> we dig through bricks. In <em>Is the Devil curved?<\/em> we dig into a nice blue sky sprinkled with clouds. In <em>And what about me?<\/em> (online), we don&#8217;t dig anymore. And that&#8217;s not so bad! <em>The Tunnel under the Atlantic<\/em> is probably the &#8220;biggest&#8221; (the only way to qualify it) thing dug in VR, but in a very different way.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<!-- Begin Yuzo --><div class='yuzo_related_post style-1'  data-version='5.12.81'><!-- without result --><div class='yuzo_clearfixed yuzo__title yuzo__title'><h3>Related Works<\/h3><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"relatedthumb \" style=\"width:135px;float:left;overflow:hidden;text-align:center;\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <a  href=\"https:\/\/benayoun.com\/fr\/2002\/01\/01\/2002\/\"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"yuzo-img-wrap \" style=\"width: 135px;height:100px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yuzo-img\" style=\"background:url('https:\/\/benayoun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MB_LOGO_ICO-150x150.webp') 50% 50% no-repeat;width: 135px;height:100px;margin-bottom: 5px;background-size: cover;
