Project Description
Sans feu ni lieu is an immersive and sensory experience that explores the emotional dimension of spaces. Inspired by the theme of performative atmospheres, this installation represents the culmination of the journey of 21 Interactive Media students from UQAM.
Designed to transform public space, the work unfolds a singular scenography composed of luminous nerves, volumetric projections, and a generative sound composition. These “nerves” are atmospheric amplifiers: they react, interact, and communicate with one another, forming a living entity animated by artificial intelligence and complex algorithms.
Without a linear narrative, Sans feu ni lieu offers a suspended moment, outside of time, where each visitor can project their own interpretation. Through its play of light, form, and sound, the installation invites a deeply personal experience, allowing a unique meaning to emerge within a sensitive and poetic universe.

Behind the installation…
This collaborative project takes the form of an interactive installation combining volumetric projections and a generative, immersive soundscape. Inspired by the human nervous system, the experience deploys a network of luminous structures called “nerves,” evoking an organic interconnection in constant evolution. The work is based on complex programming integrating artificial intelligence, resulting in a living, reactive, and sensory creation.
Produced at UQAM as part of a final-year project for the Bachelor’s in Communication (Media Creation – Interactive Media), this interdisciplinary work also benefited from the participation of three students from the Bachelor’s in Cultural and Media Production Strategy, who contributed to its strategic, logistical, and creative development.
Directed by professors Danny Perrault and Sofian Audry from UQAM’s École des médias , the project benefited from both pedagogical and artistic guidance. Their support accompanied the students throughout the creation process, on conceptual, technical, and aesthetic levels.
