After spending years traveling the world with his camera, Chris Marker embraced the online world as a new stage for his filmmaking explorations. Years later, gamers started playing GeoGuessr, an online game that invites its players to roam the world through their computer screens. The experimental video essay Geomarkr explores the past and present of mediated world exploration practices.

Guillaume Grandjean is a video game scholar and critic. His research explores the construction and representation of space in video games, with a special interest in the evolution of level design and spatial structures in the history of the medium.
