Les NōKs is an immersive and interactive artistic project deployed in various forms.
This version took place in a park in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. The exhibition transformed the public space into a territory to explore, where visitors could discover the existence of the NōKS, a small fictional colony living in symbiosis with nature. The project combines art, science, and storytelling to offer a sensitive, educational, and accessible experience for everyone.
PARK-SCALE IMMERSION
The entire park is taken over by a continuous light scenography and an original soundscape. The lights guide the wanderings and connect the various installations, while a musical composition inspired by the world and language of the NōKs accompanies visitors throughout the journey.
Around ten large artificial trees, built to life size using an eco-design method, are distributed throughout the park. Originally created for a previous exhibition, they have been reinstalled and adapted for this project. Some trees are open and can be viewed from the inside, revealing different scenes of NōK life: holograms of rituals, bioluminescent gardens made of mushrooms and upcycled objects, or dwellings made from kombucha leather.
