Going to the Venice Biennial implicitlymeans accepting that you will miss artworks, as there are so many nationalexhibitions and collateral events. So, one must make choices, without omittingthe Arsenal and the ILLUMInazioni exhibition organised by Brice Curiger, theartistic director of this 54th edition. There are also historicpavilions in the gardens and a multitude of museums, palaces and churches thatfurther induce one to lose oneself in Venice.

By focusing on points of convergence between human, scientific and technologic, 2011 EXIT festival proposed a vivid outlook of imaginary cyber-reality of tomorrow. A paranoiac view that declined in a series of interactive, immersive and performative experiences.
This year, the chosen theme of paranoia induced doubtless a step beyond in the appreciation of a multimedia art as interested in its scientific rationality as in its new expressive perspectives, underlining sketches of a cyb...
If I was to be told about Béthune, it would be told about the "Matière-Lumière" exhibition produced during Béthune 2011, Regional Capital of Creation. Three temporary or rehabilitated locations and an ambitious curator, Richard Castelli: Here is an itinerary through the Garage, the 360 and a dome set up on the main square.
An old garage converted into an exhibition space, the Garage welcomes two immersive installations inviting the spectator to become aware of his perce...
With the remains of its 19th architecture combining a cold and vespertine aesthetics, a remote legacy from the 80s (gray hue, neon lights, geometrical volumes, mirrors…), La Gaîté Lyrique would have made a perfect Apple Store… After the excitement triggered by the opening of this new City of Paris Cultural Establishment dedicated to the artistic practices of the digital age, time has come to make a first assessment, to foresee some prospects.

You need to go up to Troy, in the North of the State of New York, to discover EMPAC, a centre for the arts dedicated to new media and live performances that opened at the end of 2008. At first glance, the design of its architecture reflects its vocation: the combination of art and science. To know more about this unique place, we interviewed Kathleen Forde, Time-Based Arts Curator.
Could you tell us when EMPAC was founded and why?

The fourth edition of the STRP festival, which is devoted to bringing together music and artistic and technological practices, drew more than 30,000 visitors to its many concerts, performances, exhibitions, conferences and workshops in November 2010. As for the rather strange name for the event, it relates to the industrial site of Eindhoven that used to house the Philips brand before it revolutionised the cultural industry with its inventions.

Since June 2008, SFR has been presenting its whole universe in its Studio in rue Tronchet, in Paris. Aside its commercial space, it includes a venue and an “apartment”. A teenage target has been quickly reached thanks to private concerts. The second target is more specific.
It comprises followers of new technologies in all fields of experimentation, with the launch, in 2009, of SFR Player, a yearly event focused on innovation and creation. Digitalarti was in charge of the artistic...

The result, over a period of 4-days more than 25,000 visitors engaged with over 100 artists, designers, engineers, filmmakers, mus...
The fourth edition of Issy-Les-Moulineaux‘s Le Cube festival has been an excellent occasion to present a panorama of current forms of digital artistic expressions as well as give easy access keys to a wider audience. A choice that also included itself into a reflection on public space, symbolized by a week-end long multimedia urban game.
Listening to music in a horizontal position has always something relaxing. But when this listening uses Sonic Bed from English artist Kaffe. Matth...
Artistic practices that are too often neglected by museums naturally make their own paths, for which festivals are essential components. There are at least a dozen dedicated to new media just within the Île-de-France region. This is a return to the year in festivals including the latest editions of Art Outsiders, Visionsonic, Atopic, Exit, Némo, Vision'R, Bains Numériques and Mal aux Pixels.
