The programmer’s eye

Sophia Antipolis is an odd technopole between sea, woodland and mountain. Characters and geography. Virgil Vernier masters the art of exploring beings and places with the same curiosity and precision in order to get a mythological and contemporary view. Here is a film which seems to be happening here (in the PACA region) and elsewhere, just like a mirror in which we can go through, but which perfectly reflects the apathy and violence of our time.
