Vigilance 1.0 is a video surveillance game by Martin Le Chevallier. The player faces a series of screens allowing him to watch over many places in the same time : streets, supermarkets, parking lots, shops, apartment buildings, schools, etc. Denouncement is his aim. In a limited time (his work time), he has to point out the most important amount of infractions : robberies, pocket-pickings, burglaries, shop-lifts, breaches of the highway code, trash-abandoning, drug dealing, solicitation on a public place, procuring, drunkenness, sexual harassment, adultery, incest, pedophilia, zoophilia, necrophilia, etc. Each time the player catches one in the act, his points increase ; each time he defames, they lower. The game is downloadable.
Safe Society is a 1 minute video by Martin Le Chevallier. Within an advertising time frame, the key concepts of a new security world are displayed. Low-fat butter, alcohol-free whiskey, non-lethal weapons. The video game images, which are often more dynamic and spectacular than their movie models mix daily and extraordinary events.
