We have recently featured a number of interactive installations – from [FLUIDIC](http://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/04/fluidic-sculpture-in-motion?ref=protein.xyz) sculpture at Milan Design Week, to [Filament Mind](http://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/02/filament-mind?ref=protein.xyz) at Wyoming Library. [Extrapolis](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Extrapolis/7932497?ref=protein.xyz) is slightly different, as it combines traditional methodology of hand drawing and advanced technology.   
  
Extrapolis is a utopian urban wonderland, a painting brought to life with contemporary multimedia tools. It was designed by French artists [BKYC](http://www.bkyc-visual.com/?ref=protein.xyz) and [Théoriz Crew,](http://www.theorizcrew.org/en/?ref=protein.xyz) who were inspired by modern cities that never sleep, as well as fictional worlds. The installation aims to blur the boundaries between traditional and digital, immersing the spectator.  
  
The original large-scale painting was developed further with 3D animation, gesture-based technology, projection mapping and sound design. The colour of the painting changes as the day passes, and viewers are able to ‘walk’ inside the surreal city. With this project artists explored urban landscapes, while encouraging interactions between the viewers and the sculpture.  
  
Extrapolis can be viewed at [MJC Rancy](http://www.salledesrancy.com/?ref=protein.xyz) in Lyon, from 11th to the 16th of March.
