Back @fatamorganafestival 2025!
I was able to present for the first time, on a large cliff, a contemplative art installation that I have been working on for several months.
My work focuses on laser lenses that generate infinite diffractions thanks to patterns and colors that evolve in a progressive and random manner.
I will soon have the opportunity to give you more details about this project, for which I am currently unable to choose a name ⚡

How to Create a Video Game with Gaussian Splatting
I recently bought an Insta360 camera and decided to recreate the Père Lachaise Cemetery in 3D. Here's the workflow I used:
-Export the 360 footage frames at 5fps.
-Use a script to convert the footage into planar images (panorama to planar projection _ GitHub Maxviper)
-Align the cameras in Reality Capture to save time.
-Import everything into Postshot to generate the Gaussians (pay attention to the splat count!).
-Import the Gaussian data into Unreal Engine (I’m using XD3VGS).
-Add visual effects and lighting.
-Refine your design

Port-Blanc, Penvénan, the Rocher du Voleur.
A coastal cliff reconstructed with Gaussian Splatting.
The algorithm keeps what the camera walked close to: rock, path, grass. The sea dissolves. Too much movement, too much distance.
Looking toward the water from the edge of the scene, the sea becomes particles.
Walking through the reconstruction reveals its limits.

Finally spring! Walking the coastal path above Port-Blanc, Insta360 X4 in hand, a 360° capture reconstructed into a navigable 3D scene using Gaussian Splatting, rendered in real time inside a game engine.
As the avatar moves through the scene, it reveals the structure of the reconstruction, splats as space pixels: the raw material of the archive.
The horizon cannot be captured. Too far, the distance becomes noise. Gaussian Splatting keeps what the camera walked close to: rock, path, grass. The sea dissolves.

Ghost-like traces in the reconstructed scene. Skiers moving ahead on the trail create artifacts that reveal the limits of what the algorithm can reconstruct from a moving elements in the dataset.
Single-path capture on skis, camera swung left to right on a pole, a gesture to broaden the viewpoint. This pendular motion introduces lateral variation into the dataset, but also instability inherent to the device: motion blur, rapid angle changes, partial reconstruction of the surroundings.

Ghost-like traces in the reconstructed scene. Skiers moving ahead on the trail create artifacts that reveal the limits of what the algorithm can reconstruct from a moving elements in the dataset.
Single-path capture on skis, camera swung left to right on a pole, a gesture to broaden the viewpoint. This pendular motion introduces lateral variation into the dataset, but also instability inherent to the device: motion blur, rapid angle changes, partial reconstruction of the surroundings.

As the avatar moves through the scene, it reveals the very structure of the archive: splats scatter at its passage, exposing the unstable and constructed nature of volumetric reconstruction, like a memory we struggle to hold onto.
Skiing through an open mountain landscape, camera swung left to right on a pole, the reconstruction captures only what a single moving path can see.

A real place reconstructed with particles using Gaussian Splatting.
Running destabilizes the landscape, while walking allows it to recombine.
A small interactive experiment to reflect on our relationship with environments.
The setup explores a simple idea: our gestures transform the environments we inhabit. Through interaction, it invites reflection on how we co-inhabit the world.

Out of frame.
Gaussian Splatting reconstructs a place from a calculated viewpoint. Outside the intended zone, another structure appears: a field of particles arranged to simulate depth and parallax.
What the algorithm fails to represent reveals how it works.

Drifting through a reconstructed Kasbah alley.
As the camera moves, the space deforms and begins to reveal its underlying structure.
Part of an ongoing research on navigable real-world reconstructions.

Kasbah Oulad Othmane — Drâa Valley | Morocco
For this render, the capture was limited to a single back-and-forth path within a narrow Kasbah alley.
This highlights reconstruction instabilities, revealing viewpoint-dependent artifacts, including an unintended self-reconstruction, where my head becomes embedded in the scene geometry depending on camera position.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
