About
Octobre Numérique Faire Monde 2023, https://octobre-numerique.fr/
Octobre Numérique - Faire Monde explores the virtual, and its zones in the making that official art has not yet ennobled.
For us, video games, artificial intelligence, metaverse, blockchain, augmented, mixed or virtual reality are playgrounds spaces to express the contemporary.
It is in this virtual that the young generations of artists, thinkers and activists practice the art of inventing the world, of immersing themselves in its possibilities.
Some of its 2023 partners are Centre Pompidou-Metz, Immersion, Mouvement, Uzbek&Rica, Caldo and Actes Sud.
