Description

Founded in the 11th century, the Abbaye aux Dames de Saintes has always been a place of enterprise and culture. Following the creation of the Saintes Early Music Festival in 1972, the Abbey site was restored to create a cultural center.

It was in the context of a new project for the period 2022-2027 that the association decided to change its graphic charter so that it would be more in line with its new raison d’être: "To combine music and heritage; to imagine together an open and radiant living space, a space for encounters and exciting exchanges".

The Abbaye aux Dames wishes to change its image by revising its brand architecture and by creating communication and mediation tools that are better adapted to a wide audience.

The new visual identity created by Opixido reflects the plurality of a cultural, meeting and living place. It aims to promote a multiple experience, a quality and accessible offer, thus positioning the Abbey as a global cultural actor.

« Le Marché aux chevaux / The Horse Fair », Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899)

Rosa Bonheur carried out a major project between 1852 and 1855, The Horse Fair. This gigantic piece of art was inspired by Paris’ horse fair. The piece of art depicts a market where draft horses are being sold, especially the Percheron breed. This work is kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York because of its substantial size : 244.5 cm high and 506.7 cm wide. Unfortunately, it could not be moved to Bordeaux for the new exhibition of the Musée des Beaux-arts, due to preservation issues.

In order to share Rosa Bonheur’s master piece, it was decided to provide the museum with a digital tool allowing the visitors to explore The Horse Fair. The device is an enormous touch table with three entries:

« A journey to the heart of the work », to see the piece’s details;
A « Magnifying glass », explaining its story;
A free exploration of the piece, thanks to a digitized gigapixel picture taken by the team at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The software and project were entrusted by Opixido.

Anchored in the heart of the plain of Marana between Bastia / Poretta airport and the seafront, emerges the Canonica, a former 12th century Romanesque cathedral associated with the funerary basilica of San Parteo.
These two buildings mark the site of an exceptional archaeological site.
Benefiting from this privileged geographical location, the Archaeological Museum of Mariana - Prince Rainier III of Monaco, designed by the Pierre-Louis Faloci agency, draws on a rich archaeological collection and recreates the history of the territory.
Opixido took charge of the creation of 8 interactive databases offering archaeological files on excavations, coins, ancient cities, the decoration and the assembly of a series of 10 interviews which offer visitors the opportunity to discover the tools and archaeological methods, 7 interactive devices offering documentary and cartographic animations on the subjects covered in the tour, and 4 thematic interactive devices combining documentary, cartographic and 3D animations.

Description

The Department of Pyrénées-Orientales has entrusted the consortium formed by opixido and Les Fées Spéciales with the mission of transforming the stables of the Palace of the Kings of Majorca in Perpignan into an immersive room. It invites visitors to rediscover the history of this atypical medieval palace.
The animated video mapping technique was used to dress the 4 walls of the room. The duo of directors Maud Sertour and Samy Barras, part of our team, produced the animated sequences that reveal the medieval gardens that have now disappeared.
The light adapts to the stones, bricks and scars of the different walls to play the different paintings of the medieval period.
The sound and visual experience offers an immersion in the Catalan palace before its transformation into a citadel by Vauban. In 12 minutes, this new mediation tool recreates the marvelous exteriors that surrounded the palace: an invitation to discover medieval flora and fauna, through the four seasons like a vanished Garden of Eden.

In partnership with the Hovertone agency, our team has developed a tangible table addressing the different stages of mummification through play. Physical support and digital interactions combine to create an innovative and enriched user experience: the embalming table, in wood and in volume, receives a mapped animation - the visitor presses on different areas of the table to progress in his stages.

Description

Love is also chemistry. It manifests itself in the brain and in the rest of the body by the secretion, release (or decrease) of certain molecules. The main molecules involved in different human relationships - love, family or social - are dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, testosterone, estrogen and especially oxytocin.

For the exhibition "Of Love" at the Palais de la Découverte, Universcience chose opixido to create a device on this theme, entitled "The molecules of love".

From an abstract and colorful graphic vocabulary created specifically for the device, the animations produced by opixido tell which molecules are at play in human relationships. Sparkling and funny, they reflect the chemical undersides of different types of attachment: romantic encounter, sexual desire and sex, pregnancy and childbirth, parent-child attachment, social relationships, heartache or jealousy.

This device is trilingual and includes a specific LSF version.
