Of course, the best way to study Paris is to actually go, to Paris. In 2006 a small group of Pandemic artists went over and lived there for a while. “We took tons of video, thousands of pictures, and I grabbed as much reference about the history of architecture as I could,” Hunts tells me. “Saw lots of people, grabbed heaps of books, walked for miles and miles. We spent all up about a year and a half researching and working out how we were going to lay this story out and how we were going to build the city. It was actually quite a serious undertaking. We developed a heap of new tools so when we had the city laid out, we could be true to the real city.
