Max
Existing voice, context and memory.
Still to finish: precision, coherence, performance direction, video embodiment.
The Où est Ava ? experience
Post-film experience — open hypotheses and user journey.
After the film, the participant chooses Max or Emma when their profile is ready, then enters a conversation that can last up to 15 minutes. A character change can be requested or suggested, but is always confirmed. Où est Ava ? tests what makes this exchange credible, unsettling, useful and controlled: not only what is said, but how it is said and embodied.
Où est Ava ? does not turn the film into a video game or a choice-based path. Conversation leaves the audience genuine freedom, while the story keeps its blind spots, trust thresholds and right to remain silent. Vocal and visual performance direction is therefore a product hypothesis: each important line must carry an intention consistent with the text, memory and face on screen.
The journey
Session length will be set by tests.

Find your bearings before speaking
The participant settles in, states what they already know and receives the context they need — without making the film a prerequisite.

The journey is an experience frame: its duration, thresholds and transitions must be confirmed through testing, not assumed complete.

The public setup
The public version uses two parallel stations.
Public setup to test in context
The setup is described here without a concept image: its final form needs site-based validation against welcoming, acoustics, setup and circulation constraints.
Post-film hypotheses
Open questions structuring our experiments — click each hypothesis to see what it implies and what must be tested.
One selection, one test frame
