DIGITAL ART REINVENTS THE CITY
The Cube Festival, France’s major digital arts event, invites the public to experience the city in a poetic and festive way, a city whose urban itineraries have been re-enchanted by artists. Over a 6-day period, this festival will give us a futuristic vision of life together, where digital creation reshapes the environment, encourages new forms of interaction and imagines the outlines of the 21st century city. A city that is multiple, communicating, ubiquitous and sensitive: A city of emotion.
Digital technologies such as the internet, mobile phones and wireless networks are creating new social interactions within the urban environment, and changing our ways of life. This change is altering our perception of space and time, and modifying our relationships with others. Much more than a technological revolution, this is a human adventure which designers, industrialists and other players in the city have seized upon.
Three years after the first event, the Cube Festival has put together an itinerary full of surprises, with interactive pieces set in the public space, as well as artistic events based on digital creation including multimedia shows, screenings, performances, and electro-visual live shows.
The Cube Festival has activities for everyone: multimedia workshops, a Kid’s Corner for children aged from 3 to 12, guided tours, and special arrangements for the disabled.
The Festival Village, a convivial centre for information, meeting venues and innovations, is the real heart and festive agora of the event.
The Cube Festival also brings together artists and experts to discuss its theme “No(s) Futur(s)” (our futures) at get-togethers organised jointly with the renowned MIT publication “Technology Review”.
The Cube Festival is organised by Communauté d’Agglomération Arc de Seine, la Ville d’Issy-les-Moulineaux and Le Cube.
