DVD TALENTS / SECOND LIFE / BEAUX-ARTS MAGAZINE

RELEASE OF THE NEW TALENTS / LE CUBE DVD
“SPECIAL ISSUE 2: ARCHI & DESIGN”
In celebration of the Cube Festival, Le Cube and Talents release their new DVD: “Special Issue 2: Archi & Design”. This is a new collection of pieces which all tackle issues relating to city, town planning and design. This is an in-depth look at individual artistic universes, offering different views of the city and its representations, seen through the prism of each artist’s environment, experience and temperament.
The pieces have been selected because of their inquisitive approach, combining digital interventions (video/photo mix, 2D and 3D animation, etc.) and because they delve into the relationship between sound and image, as is often the case at Le Cube. Here, a moment’s poetry, be it dark or full of hope, poses questions about the relation between Man and his environment.
“Special Issue 2: Archi & Design”, along with the other Talents DVD, will be available for purchase from the Festival Village shop and from other usual sales-points, for 30 Euros.
Programme broadcast along the Festival’s itinerary, from Tuesday to Saturday, 2pm to 6pm, at the Issy-les-Moulineaux multimedia library.

THE CUBE FESTIVAL IN SECOND LIFE:
MEDIA BUILDING AND EVENTS
Already present in Second Life, on the “Digital Music and Cultures” cultural island, Le Cube has chosen the Cube Festival to unveil the first “virtual Media Building” whose walls are made with a proper “screen skin”.
Xavier Boissarie and Roland Cahen’s piece, Bandonéon, will be specially adapted and re-imagined for Second Life, so as to constitute Le Cube’s media building. This piece, also visible along the festival’s itinerary, will be visible all year long on Le Cube’s virtual façade.
And throughout the festival, Le Cube has also put together a programme of exceptional events in Second Life, as well as a discovery workshop on this virtual world, every day from 6pm at the Festival Village.
This virtual presence is part of the Cube Festival’s reflection on relations between virtual territories and real territories, and on the new boundaries of the dematerialised public space.
Programme of events in Second Life from 3rd to 8th June
Special unveiling event: Tuesday 3rd June from 6pm on, in Second Life
