Exhibition Beyond the real?
in the framework of Némo – International Biennial of Digital Arts
of the Île-de-France Region
The main exhibition of the Némo Biennial tests the capacity of art and technology to reveal what is invisible, imperceptible or unspeakable. Many contemporary artists work on astrophysical, magnetic, chemical and nuclear phenomena, but also on societal, economic and sociological issues. By the materialization of the imperceptible, they produce new cartographies of the “real”. In the hollow of the invisible, the unheard of new aesthetic forms emerge, but also another perception of the world that surrounds us.
