ABOUT Chroniques:
CHRONIQUES – Resource center for artistic creation in the digital environment.
Conceived in the contrast and diversity of a dual identity between Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, CHRONIQUES is now a recognized international artistic event, but also a human organization whose obsession has remained unchanged for more than 20 years: the search for new aesthetics and imaginaries that shed light on the ambivalence of our relationship with technology. In 2024, CHRONIQUES was designated by the Ministry of Culture as the “Regional Center for Artistic Creation in the Digital Environment” for the PACA region. CHRONIQUES organizes the Biennale des Imaginaires Numériques (Digital Imagination Biennial), as well as public events (exhibitions, meetings, mediation activities) and training activities to decipher the inner workings of digital society. Finally, CHRONIQUES is also a platform for the production of original works, as well as for networking and mutual support around the production, distribution, and recognition of hybrid and digital arts.
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.
