BRD – Groupe Societe Generale will be present at the 25th edition Gaudeamus International Fair through the facility Imaginary laboratories. Developed by scenic designer Adrian Damian and BRD – Groupe Societe Generale, he will offer a new, improved real-life experience, giving the public a chance to interact in a new way with a series of written works signed by well-known science fiction writers. So, between November 14th and 18thin the central Romekpo Pavilion, visitors to the Gaudeamus Book Fair can experience new ways of reading with several integrated technologies in the installation, including holographic holographic glasses and LEAP Motion Sensors for moving your hands.
The concept of the new installation – "Reading in the future" was signed by stage designer Adrian Damian together with studios Les Ateliers Nomad, Aural EIE and CINETIC and explores the possibilities offered by the fusion of new technologies with the digital book. Curated and publicly accessible texts expose the visions of distant future societies and science-fantastic universes imagined by authors such as Margaret Atwood in The Handmaid's Tale, Dan Simmons in Hyperion, Richard Morgan at Modified Carbon, Sebastian A. Corn and Adrenergic !, Ernest Klein at Ready Plaier One, Pierce Brovn in Red Fury, and Neal Stephenson in the Seven Euros.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to return to Gaudeamus with a new version of the Imaginary Laboratory. The installation is a suggestion on how the book will look in the future. Not only support for text, the book must have some materiality, even at the digital level, and inspire at least the same as its version on paper. We want to create a bridge between reading and technology flavors. We want to cultivate the imagination of readers so that they do not deviate from the written text, regardless of the support that is used in the future. In activation we will cause visitors to imagine other possibilities of interaction with future reading, the testimonials we want to implement in the first instance"Said Sabina Stirb, Brand Communication Brand Manager, BRD – Societe Generale Group.
