I exhibited "Cache-cache chez Arthur" there, a work intended to be displayed in a corner, on a very small support, like the ugly duckling whose story it tells. 🤏

I discovered this project while searching on Reddit about ASTRA, that's where I found someone hyping STARFALL saying :"I know, looks like he has taken some inspiration from ASTRA, but that was very short."

And... I have to agree, haha!
From the OculusQuest community on Reddit: STARFALL. A single developer created this? WOW! Let's show him our support.

"You awaken in space, returning from “the simulation” with heavy memory loss as you arrive at your next destination: Planet Exoris. As you explore surreal planets, you must uncover who you really are, the purpose behind the recon mission, and how human connection brings meaning to life."

Having people be inspired by it, and (maybe?) being the bases of a new genre of space-themed hybrid (narrative+gamy) experience in XR!

I present to you STARFALL → www.meta.com/fr-fr/experi...

“L’interactivité d’une œuvre vidéoludique permet de ne pas subir le système. Et le contrôleur permet de renverser ce rapport de force” commente Olivier Mauco, président de l’Observatoire européen des jeux vidéo.

"Sans toujours revendiquer explicitement la mouvance du permacomputing (lire l’article, Permacomputing, tendance éphémère ou phénomène durable ?), ces pratiques en partagent souvent les principes : économie de moyens, sobriété technologique et réemploi."

“Très souvent, on commence le prototypage avec du carton et du scotch, poursuit Émilie Breslavetz ( @emiliecorne.bsky.social ). On finance nos œuvres nous-mêmes, donc on fabrique souvent en low-tech. Mais un bon contrôleur peut évoluer [...]""

“Cela s’approche vraiment de la culture makers : fabrication artisanale, partage, open source. Les contrôleurs sont souvent conçus dans des fablabs. Avec les contrôleurs alternatifs, j’ai une liberté que je ne retrouverai nulle part ailleurs”, confie @emiliecorne.bsky.social
October 20, 2025 at 1:16 PM
"Les contrôleurs alternatifs ont depuis été étudiés, notamment via les travaux références de l’artiste chercheuse Tatiana Vilela dos Santos avec une thèse présentée en 2024, “Le mouvement altctrl, repenser la matérialité du jeu à l’ère de sa dématérialisation”."

"Alors que le jeu vidéo reste souvent associé à la console de salon, une autre scène indé s’affirme à la marge. Artistes et game designers y créent des œuvres installatives qui détournent les manettes traditionnelles. "
