biborg-work-epic-games-xsens-nymphea-selenis-thumbnail Challenge Biborg is positioned as one of the leading independent full-service agencies specialized in gaming. True to its vision and with the desire to bring gaming to all communities, Biborg wanted to surpass the boundaries of gaming and art with a totally new experience. After all, what are the limits of gaming when associated with live art?

For Biborg, there are none. Ready to experience a new form of art?

Idea In collaboration with Epic Games and Movella Xsens, we imagined, produced and realized a unique, immersive experience. Working with Hugo Vigliotti, a dancer from the Paris National Opera Ballet, Biborg combined video games and live art to offer an unprecedented performance as part of the Motion Motion festival.
