SENSible Program
Is the Future of Museums Virtual?
L'avenir du musée est-il virtuel?
Wednesday November 7 // 18:00 - 19:00 // Musée d'Art et d'Histoire (MAH)
While there are more and more virtual reality works being produced by contemporary artists, we have noticed that the number of productions that reinterpret iconic paintings in the history of art is growing too. This round table discussion aims to address the influence of digital media on the dematerialization of art and the resulting new approaches to museology.
This year, in parallel to this discussion, the Festival presents a VR Museum, which brings together a body of nine virtual and augmented reality works to discover at Lieu Central (Pitoëff).
