[Thierry Théolier]

Hello,

Do you know this french festival call databitme in Arles (south) ?
Here we go...

<<>>|.-.|+_+ <<>>|.-.|+_+ <<>>|.-.|+_+ <<>>|.-.|

" Databit.me is born in 2010 in Saint Rémy de Provence and aimed to be 
since its beginning a laboratory for meetings and cultural innovation. 
Open to contemporary digital creation, this festival works as a place of 
transmission and mediation with workshops and master-classes. It is also 
a creative time with residences and exchanges between artists and the 
public.

The mass media largely surround our lives.
They impose a culture and worldview.
Their criticisms seem somewhat obvious. Dissenting voices are 
suppressed, recycled, treated ... The "broadcast" discharge astronomical 
amounts of images, sounds, games (video) colonize the Internet, 
computers, television, radio ... They are the "elementary particles" of 
our gregarious lives. They flood us with contents that become materials 
we should get to build our culture, by sharing knowledge and in link 
with our aspirations. A walk against this age of instant ... How to 
regain control of this media tsunami vehiculing mainstream culture.

Air.

Databit.me would like to be in that place, between art, criticism and 
culture. The fields of digital need to be (re)-invested ... so it does 
not end up by becoming, that supermarket ... Open minds to have a human 
alternative to the hegemony comptability. Let's dreams a lot. Transform 
the information superhighway into little walk paths. Play with the 
relationship to reality, to build our virtual ...

Symbolically it is a struggle. Corruption of contents, diversions are 
tools of resistance, facing the liberal culture bulldozer. Open space, 
multiply the worldviews. Seek to be in a rich singularity. Produce 
unique tools, to build part of our culture.
Have fun with technology, learn hard to reach knowledge in this 
perpetual race for novelty. Play the boundaries between art and 
technique ...

Search for other dimensions."
