In 2012, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “L'ère bête” by Thomas Caudron, Ingrid Menet, Laurent Mériaux, Clément Tissier and 1 others (Computer Animation) with a Honorary Mention.
_L’ère bête_ is a medieval farce dealing with the notions of humanity and bestiality. In the Middle Ages, a sow and a beggar are invited to a carnival where a crowd of masked men have fun in judging and torturing animals as if they were human beings. Our heroes are arrested and judged in their turn.
