</span></tt> <tt>" 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.</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt><br>
</tt> <tt>The mass media largely surround our lives.</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt>They impose a culture and worldview.</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt>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.</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt><br>
</tt> <tt>Air.</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt><br>
</tt> <tt>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 ...</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt><br>
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.</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt>Have fun with technology, learn hard to reach knowledge
in this perpetual race for novelty. Play the boundaries between
art and technique ...</tt><tt><br>
</tt> <tt><br>
</tt> <tt>Search for other dimensions."</tt><tt><br>
