Living for something strong called ArKaos Now on Tour with Jean-Michel Jarre. I'll be your eyewitness of the Oxygene Tour '97. I will try to keep you updated on every concert, delivering some of the best images of the show by using X<>Pose 1.1 (more info on my setup to come...you can already check ArKaos website).

In many ways, this tour is a real technology showcase; Jean Michel's show is a playground filled with new exciting experiments... .If you are a technology freak <like me>, check these pages regularly, I will try to keep you informed on different cutting edge techniques used for this incredible show.
