We often write about Hyptique without thanking its captain, Pierre Lavoie . In 1995, Pierre was the first one to invite us to multimedia landscape, and today he remains a close friend whom with we are still inventing and creating new projects, CD-Roms, web sites and interactive exhibitions. Actually : the site of the National Natural History Museum, interactive computers for Juno Beach - a Canadian museum, a big exhibition on money at the PASS in Belgium, the reissue of the collection of CD-Rom Passeport, a film by Valéry Faidherbe for Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Angers...
