Catherine IKAM's “L' Autre” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 1993, category Interactive Art.
'L'Autre' ('the other one') is a vir installation where the visitor is confronted with a real-time 3D animated face. The 'other one' 'lives' in a virtual space, which is connected to the real world through an interface that detects the visitor's movements.
