Le Cube - Centre for digital creation

Presentation
Expression through digital media is specific in that it enables the creation of “autonomous actor” systems, involving complex behaviours and a “relationship” that is audience-sensitive. In real-time systems, this type of art brings into play “initiative-taking” techniques, artificial intelligence, artificial life, learning technology, analysis generators/engines, etc. In practical terms, this means using video game technology and applying it to artistic creation.

Goals
The seminar focuses on the various aspects of behavioural art creation and, in particular, on the initial design process, in relation to technical constraints and opportunities. It aims to provide more scope for artists interested in exploring the world of digital creation to devise and carry out a project in this branch. The seminar contributors are leading French digital art experts, who have been working in the branch for over twenty years.

Target audience
The seminar caters for:
* Artists
* People with an arts or art history degree
* Art and culture professionals
