Bienniale of Digital Imaginaries 2018

In 2018, we’re offering the 1st Aix-Marseille Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur International Biennial of Digital Arts and Cultures. This event federates a network of regional, national and international co-productions, involving some thirty partner venues in the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area. International in scope, Canada, with the international Biennial of Montréal, is the guest of honor.

Who hasn’t dreamed of flying, of soaring, of escaping the earth’s gravity with the flick of an arm, or riding a magic carpet? Our perception of space, territory, point of view and representation has been reconfigured by technologies such as drones, satellites and GPS.
