Market of Digital Imaginaries
A unique event for professionals in culture, cultural and creative industries, new technologies, and digital creation.
To mark the opening of the 2024 Digital Imagination Biennial, CHRONIQUES launched a brand new event: the Market of Digital Imaginaries (MIN).
For two days, the Friche la Belle de Mai in Marseille was transformed into a platform for exchange between creators, researchers, entrepreneurs, cultural institutions, and innovation stakeholders. Around forty nationalities shared their visions and stories during keynotes, round tables, masterclasses, and pitch sessions.
More than just a professional event, MIN has laid the foundations for a hybrid, open ecosystem where key issues are discussed: artificial intelligence, new economic models, cross-sector cooperation, and technological and artistic innovation.
By integrating the Regional Forum on Entrepreneurship in Culture, supported by the Ministry of Culture and the DRAC PACA, the MIN has successfully combined creativity, foresight, and concrete action.
This first edition of the Market of Digital Imaginaries not only promoted collaboration, it also affirmed a position: that of a vibrant ecosystem where digital creativity is not a niche, but a matrix—artistic, political, economic, and sensitive all at once.
