Devices
Equipping a brand new exhibition
In 2015, the COOP center moved to the banks of Anderlecht’s canal, inside a former industrial flour mill in the heart of a rapidly changing neighbourhood. Switch was asked to create a series of devices aiming to equip the neighbourhood’s discovery center.
Animated videos on social movements
We started by producing two informative videos about the birth of social movements in Brussels and the issue of the right to housing. We opted for a technique combining animation and archival photos, with a touch of humour on top.
Droits sociaux
Droit au logement
Travelling through time on a barge
We then created an immersive installation allowing the visitor to cross the Brussels Canal on a barge… back in 1890. We projected an animated video reproducing the Canal’s surroundings on the walls and the ceiling of the center for a full immersion.
Aerial view of the Canal
Last but not least, Switch was asked to produce a video allowing the visitor to travel the Canal as it is today, by air. We used a drone to capture aerial images from the Canal’s mouth in Charleroi.
