Rencontres imaginaires is a series of several behavioral interactive videos works. In the action space, the spectator is faced with an interactive mirror screen, reflecting reflecting his body including the face. Virtual hands and faces are trying to touch and catch the subject. Hands and faces reflect a variety of behaviors and question relationships to one another. The hands feel the presence and move along the face of the viewer

In this artwork, the artists Scenocosme provocate reactions and gestures from the spectators in response to virtual contacts. The audience plays with the hands which scrap the ear, caress the hair, touch the tip of the lips etc. The contact is virtual but gives strange real feelings for the viewer. It can be amused, annoyed, or expressed some pleasure. The virtual hands and faces appear in black and white superimposed with the image of the viewer. This device gives the illusion of a ghostly troubling reality. Scenocosme uses digital technologies but give to see an image that remind the first tricks of cinema begining such as the illusion technique used by Georges Méliès.
