HOPScotch
An adaptive spatial play in 5 multiple entry Acts
As in Julio Cortazar's eponymous novel, Hopscotch has multiple entries that build distinctive sequences according to the choices of the lector - in our case the inhabitant of the space.
In its core version, that could be infinitely complemented, it has a structure of 5 architectural modules, or Acts.
Those modules share their base size and common levels of access, allowing equal assembling and motion between them.
Each has a minimum of 2 Entries and Exits, offering a variety of space sequences.
The subject is not a user of the space. S.he doesn't consume it, but interacts, embodies, and leads the environment through actions and behaviours, in a symbiotic exchange.
It results in a spatial performance where the subject receives information while engaging entirely within it. Becoming actor, spectator, and director of the performances.
Those mouvements involve the Macro-scale, when affecting how the modules are assembled, the scale of each singular space, until the one of the body itself.
Transformations engage a diversity of experiments, including motion, sound, lighting, music, screening, pulsations, shadows...
