ABOUT Chroniques:
CHRONIQUES was designated in 2024 by the Ministry of Culture, Resource Hub for Artistic Creation in the Digital Environment for the PACA region.
In response to changes in digital technology and its uses, and to better support hybrid and transdisciplinary forms of artistic creation in the digital environment, the Ministry of Culture is setting up regional resource hubs with a view to better structuring the ecosystem. The aim is to support artists and professionals and to structure ecosystems and cooperation at the regional level, particularly in terms of production and distribution.
Shaped by the contrast and diversity of its dual identity in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, today CHRONIQUES is a major international arts event and a human-powered organisation that has pursued the same goal with obsessive conviction for over 20 years: to find new forms of aesthetics and imaginary realms that provide insight into our ambivalent relationship with technology.
ABOUT the residency AND ITS PRESENTATION at Chroniques:
Support for artistic creation
Support the creation and consolidate the areas of support for the production and dissemination of artists in the digital environment in the region through financial and technical contributions and the provision of workspace and specific artistic expertise in the field of digital environment creation.
Facilitate the dissemination of artistic projects and extend their lifespan in the region and beyond, at national and international level, by including them in the dissemination networks of partner organizations.
Support for professionals
Bring together and coordinate a network of co-producers (cultural organizations, cultural industries, higher education, research) in the region to develop experience sharing and collaboration. Familiarize cultural organizations with artistic creation in a digital environment with a view to expanding its dissemination.
Created in 2018 and organized by CHRONIQUES – a project of the associations Seconde Nature in Aix-en-Provence and ZINC in Marseille – the Biennial of Digital Imaginaries is the highlight of digital arts and cultures in the South region.
Exploring visual arts, sound arts and live performance, the Biennial is interested in the presence and use of new technologies in art, invests the public space and gives voice to national and international artists from different backgrounds.
