Last week, the 3rd edition of the New Images Festival<\/a> took place at the Forum des Images, in Paris, France. Dedicated to presenting innovative projects to both professionals and the public, the festival presents a variety of XR, VR, and AR experiences. Among them, Karim Ben Khelifa\u2019s 360\u00b0 AR experience \u201cSeven Grams\u201d. This project<\/a> is co-produced by Lucid Realities<\/a>, France T\u00e9l\u00e9vision<\/a>, POV and Think Film<\/a>, the experience gives the used the opportunity to visualise the content of their own phone, and the humanitarian cost behind it. On Thursday, September 24th, director Karim Ben Khelifa presented a prototype of the experience, which takes the form of a phone application to the visitors of New Images Festival.He explained,  during the live-streamed case study \u201cSeven Grams: Solution Journalism and Augmented Reality\u201d, the concept behind his next AR project – once again with the help of executive producer Chlo\u00e9 Jarry of Lucid Reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist Marta Balaga, from Variety, writes : \u201c As mentioned also in the short trailer, shown to the audience gathered in the room as well as the one watching online, \u201cSeven Grams\u201d is a global journalistic project that tells the story of smartphones through a smartphone, using AR. With each mobile containing roughly seven grams of precious minerals, like gold, one country in particular has an abundance of them: The Democratic Republic of Congo. \u201cBut for many, this has been a curse rather than a blessing,\u201d it was said in the video materials, as they are often extracted in horrendous conditions, violating basic human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karim Ben Khelifa explained that the idea for Seven Grams was born in 2014, while he was doing his previous VR experience, The Enemy. \u201cI was in a mine in eastern Congo, taking photos with my phone. Not realizing they are digging out the very minerals that are enabling me to do it. [I want to show] why are we using these minerals, why they are indispensable and how they make the device you have in your hand so powerful\u201d.
From augmented reality to the use of charcoal drawings, from the technological dissection to the story of Chance, a congolese miner, abducted when he was only 12 years old and going through immense horror, the article details the different artistic choices made by the director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
