On the artists' side, we discover four creators from Europe and Asia: Liu Bolin (China), Tobias Gremmler (Germany), Lu Yang (Japan), Salomé Chatriot (France). Each artist has created several digital installations for the occasion. With the process of augmented reality, they can play with our perception of reality, question and reenchant our world and the way we look at it.

To be able to admire these works, you need a phone with theAugmented Palace 3 application (available from May), and a headset or earphones. Then, all you have to do is launch the application and let yourself be taken on this unusual journey!
