FlyView Paris, a pioneer in the field of virtual reality experiences, announces today, on the occasion of its 6th anniversary, the launch of a new immersive experience: "21-22 Earth". This series of immersive VR films offers viewers an unprecedented planetary journey, revealing the current state of our world at the dawn of the Anthropocene, a new geological epoch characterized by the advent of humans as the main force for change on Earth, surpassing geophysical forces. Experience shows us that the influence of human activity on the Earth is more pervasive and expansive than ever.
Come and discover the exclusive FlyView versions of the first two parts of this series, entitled "21-22 China" and "21-22 USA", which offer a unique look at our world. At a time when the planet is facing the challenges of climate change and species extinction, these experiences, made up of non-synthesis images illustrating real-life situations, offer viewers a perspective beyond the human scale to bear witness to the massive influence of anthropocentric activity on the planet.
These FlyView versions of "21-22 China" and "21-22 USA" invite viewers to fly over these two countries for twenty minutes, in a striking and meditative journey. Through landscapes untouched by humans and saturated, dehumanized urban landscapes, director Thierry Loa observes and takes a critical look at the impact of human activity on our planet's ecosystems. Seen from the sky, this becomes an undeniable and impressive reality, almost dizzying.
In this first part, the viewer flies over landscapes that are almost unreal, so little known are they. We discover vast open-pit coal mines in northern China, golden deserts along the ancient Silk Road, futuristic megacities in the interior of mainland China, immense magnificent natural parks and much more.
Non-exhaustive list of places flown over: 21-22 China : Dunhuang desert, Chongqing city, Changsha city, Zhengzhou, Inner Mongolia (Chinese autonomous region), Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Jiaohe Ruins, Huangshan Mountains ...
This second instalment takes us through the United States as seen from the air, in all its diversity. We explore the vast geological landscapes of Arizona and Utah, the stunning skyscrapers of New York, the sprawling suburbs and complex road infrastructure of Los Angeles, the eye-opening oil production operations of Texas, and much more.
Non-exhaustive list of places flown over: 21-22 USA: New York City, Los Angeles, Cape Coral, Oljato-Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Utah's badlands, Goosenecks State Park, Hoover Dam ...
The immersive films in "21-22" prefer to show rather than tell, offering a poetic and critical assemblage of scenes from different corners of the globe. Filmed from above, these journeys allow visitors to explore places that are often inaccessible, offering an unprecedented 360° perspective of a planet in the throes of transformation.
Without verbal narration, the soundtrack grabs the viewer's attention, offering an evocative and gripping cinematic experience.
"21-22 Earth" marks a new era in the VR experience, as visitors are invited to discover the world. FlyView invites fans of culture, new-genre cinema and the curious to embark on this extraordinary journey to the heart of our changing planet.
"Since its inception, FlyView has been committed to pushing the boundaries of the imagination and offering unique and unforgettable experiences to its visitors. The 21-22 Earth project fits perfectly into FlyView's DNA, which is to show the world from a completely different point of view. Through virtual reality, FlyView's experiences offer visitors extraordinary immersive journeys and make the unattainable possible: seeing what you can't see, doing what you can't do."
Produced and directed by Thierry Loa*, the films "21-22 China" and "21-22 USA" are the first two in a series of immersive films begun in 2018.
