École Parmentier · Puteaux

Underwater exploration

At the controls of a lighthouse, children explore the seabed.

The town of Puteaux commissioned Datoo and Nokinomo to create a playful, educational installation for the media library of École Parmentier.

The installation invites children to travel: inside the lighthouse, the child takes the controls by moving the lever of an engine telegraph and watches the seabed scroll past the porthole in front of them.

Depending on the lever's position, they slow down, stop or speed up, and change worlds. They travel from cold seas to warm seas and discover the animals that live there.
