Un vrai plaisir d'échanger avec @emiliecorne.bsky.social sur un aspect que l'on connaît trop peu : le jeu expérimental et les contrôleurs alternatifs.

This image is a printed poster from this year's Lyon algorave. It features a variety of information. "Algorave Grrrnd zero 24 mai 18h-6h" as a title alternating red and black colors on each title line. Several boxes with red text contain additional information: "Nuit de Live coding", "60 avenue de Bohlen 69120 Vaulx-en-Velin", "Prix libre, no CB, 6 euros conseillé", "Performances visuelles et sonores de 39 artistes", "Restauration sur place". Group names are written in white text on a red background above a text-mode illustration of the city: "emilie_breslavetz", "z0rg", "peregrine", "lbvp", "libre_&change_trio", "polymorphic_engine", "parvagues", "th4", "maeertt", "crash_server", "sara_adkins", "bubobubo && ralt44mi", "nabir", "jaxa", "lucky. juj" , "syntonie" , "three_naughti_bois" , "2mo", "fronssons", "marlen", "plot", "kaamtar", "ungual", "dok", "nesso && bruno_gola", "afalf", "neon_delice", "bleuje", "c_robo", "azertype", "gcode". The background illustration shows a city street scene with 3 building facades, a pedestrian street with a staircase leading down to a train station, and a street with cars. Numerous characters walk or interact with each other. Animals are also present in the illustration: a dog, cats, rats and birds. Some of the walls feature graffitis: "Fuck Lepen", "Act for LGBTQIA+", "Free Palestine", "A mort le patriarcat". On the bottom of the poster is written special mentions: "organisé par ordinateur_dans_la_tete 21472 bytes poster by adel_faure Greetz to Mistigris, Textmode Friends, 1-Bit Bad Bitches and Cookie collective". The picture is a scan of a riso print, with cream paper and halftone texture.
I've finished the poster for this year's Lyon Algorave

A great guy sitting in front of the globe and looking at the screen. He's slowly rotating the LED globe to play the game. On the back we can see a child jumping on a yoga ball, another controller made by incontrolab.
A cute little girl trying to rotate the globe but she's too small and too young to win the game.
A teen boy, seeing from the back, sitting in front of the globe and looking at the screen. He's rotating the LED globe to play the game. On the screen we can see the game with a black and white representation of the earth and some touches of green for life and red for asteroids.
The alternative controller used to play Orbital : a globe modified to display RGB lights and mimick the controls of a computer mouse. It is disposed on a RGB mouse pad of which the illustration is a black and white map of the world. There is two little disco globes and an LED strip disposed on it.
Some pictures of Orbital, our new alternative game controller we showcased for the first time during la Petite Game Buvette last weekend at la Cité des Sciences in Paris 👾🌍💫
