After spending years travelling 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.

Chloé Galibert-Laîné is a researcher and filmmaker, currently working as a Senior Researcher at the Hochschule Luzern in Switzerland. Their work explores the intersections between cinema and online media, with a particular interest for questions related to modes of spectatorship, gestures of appropriation, and mediated memory.
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.
