Career
Antoine Viviani started working with the contemporary artist Pierre Huyghe in Paris [1] in 2008. In 2011, he directed In Situ, a documentary essay about artistic interventions in the urban space in Europe, featuring artists and activists Pamelia Kurstin, Irmela Mensah Schramm, Alain Damasio, Paul Ardenne, Zevs (artist), Johan Lorbeer, Jean Luc Courcoult and Royal de Luxe, Llorenç Barber[2]. It received the Doclab Award at International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam in Amsterdam in 2011 and the Best Film Award at London Open City Documentary Festival in 2012 and got selected in major documentary film festivals around the world [3] [4] .
In 2015, he produced and directed In Limbo, a documentary essay telling the story of a spirit, performed by the French-Canadian writer Nancy Huston, waking up in the maze of data centers all over the world and dissolving into the memory of the Internet.[5]. The film stages Internet founding fathers and visionaries Gordon Bell, Brewster Kahle, Cathal Gurrin, and Ray Kurzweil [6]among many others, filmed as ghosts talking to themselves forever, using a special volumetric depth camera [7][8]. An interactive online shortened version, In Limbo Interactive, was released by Arte and the National Film Board of Canada on a specific web-platform, where one could connect its own data[9]. The film premiered in Nov. 2015 as part of the international competition of CPH:DOX in Copenhagen and has been selected in major international documentary film festivals around the world.
In 2019, Antoine Viviani created with Pierre Alain Giraud a location-based immersive art installation called Solastalgia. Wearing a specific AR equipment, a group of 10 people explores a 400 square meter landscape of a deserted, post apocalyptic future where the last generations have decided to transform into ghosts, thanks to a machine, repeating the same gestures over and over again, haunting the planet forever [10]. Antoine Viviani has said to have been largely inspired by Adolfo Bioy Casares’ The Morel Invention to write the experience[11]. Icelandic visual artist Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, composer Valgeir Sigurðsson and choreographer Erna Omarsdottir collaborated on the piece [12]. Solastalgia got selected in the 2020 New Frontier selection of the Sundance Film Festival[13] and was presented at The National Gallery of Iceland in June 2020[14].
