Exhibited in Shanghai (Science Museum), ChongQing (3 Gorges Museum opening exhibition), Chengdu and Beijing, 25m diameter installation. The exhibition received more than 10 000 visitors\/day in Shanghai<\/p>\n
Cosmopolis endeavours to examine urban realities through people’s eyes. It is an artistic, and scientific interpretation of urbanization, making a visit a physical and intellectual experience.<\/p>\n
The visitor enters a big, moving panorama of a constantly changing city. Twelve observation binoculars, much like those found at scenic lookout points, allow one to be surrounded 360\u00b0 by twelve urban environments. Seven Occidental cities and five Asian cities: Paris , Berlin , Barcelona , Chicago , Johannesburg , Cairo , Sao Paulo , Beijing , Shanghai , Chongqing , Chengdu , Hong Kong , can thus be discovered, each from different viewpoints. Bearing no resemblance to the touristy landscapes one may expect to see, these scenes lay out major urban issues simply through a choice of viewpoint: transportation, environment, architecture, energy, health…<\/p>\n
Only later does the visitor realize that his or her viewpoint through the VR binocular is \u201ccaptured\u201d and used to create the big panorama of Cosmopolis \u2013the permanently mutating World City- at the centre of the exhibition. Little by little, a surprising city is built, both strange and familiar, the fruit of visitors’ intersecting gazes and visual experiences. The visitors seated in the centre of the exhibition witness this action, which is both artistically stunning and symbolically crucial: the City of Tomorrow must be the fruit of intersecting gazes and experiences.<\/p>\n
At regular intervals, the big panorama is replaced by one of the urban landscapes, depicted via a scanning action that sweeps the entire circumference of the central space. It displays key areas in the form of words, sounds, and video images. In various spots, it points out the limitations of a urbanistic course or the solutions found that can be adopted elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Cosmopolis is therefore a space for exchange and analysis, contemplation and action. It presages new ways of confronting major urban tendencies and makes Asian and Western viewpoints converge in a symbolic and interrogating way.<\/p>\n
