Master in Production and Financing students organized round tables on the theme “Culture in the Digital Age”
To complement the Juvenars-IESA Prize organized by Bachelor in Art Expertise and Art Trade students, Master in Production and Financing students are organizing a conference on the theme “Culture in the Digital Age” on Tuesday, July 12 at La Bellevilloise.
On the program:
Content Industries
14:00 - Audiovisual: does consumerism inspire screenwriters?
15:40 - Publishing: what if books no longer had pages?
Whether in the audiovisual or book publishing sectors, digital technology affects consumer habits and opens up new conceptual possibilities; consequently, authors, image makers and writers must rethink not only their creative processes but also imagine the works of tomorrow. How do you retain the web user who binge-watches? How do you reach the digital book reader?
Digital Creations
14:20 - Music: do big ears have a nose for it?
16:00 - Digital arts: can the algorithm be the artist?
While music is the cultural sector most advanced in the digital transformation, with deep upheavals in its value chain, video games and, beyond them, digital arts are digital-native disciplines; in every case, programmers develop offerings aimed at finely tailoring other content to music lovers, or at inviting the visiting player to take part in creative production; to what extent do these changes in practice bring about changes in status, or even transfers of power?
Art and Heritage
14:40 - Heritage: can monuments be 3D printed?
16:20 - Exhibition: are museums outdated?
International news acutely raises the question of heritage conservation; if 3D allows virtual reconstructions, the next step is the immersive visit, and tomorrow perhaps, thanks to the 3D printer, the possibility of real reconstruction. Likewise, while exhibition visitors have never been so numerous, the ways of showing works are adapting to the new mediation methods offered by digital tools. What multisensory experiences could be offered to visitors?
Performing Arts
15:20 - Word: resource centers toward a convergence of disciplines?
16:40 - Gesture: public-private reconciliation, toward a broadening of production models?
With the merger of the CNT and Hors les Murs, the recent arrival of investors is causing financial shifts in production and operating models, the reduction of public funds and the expansion of the supply of shows. The debates will address a possible economic reorganization of the sectors and creative approaches.
Policy
15:00 - Sociocultural action: does social culture have a place in the market?
18:00 - Professionalization: what are the options?
The summoning of cultures into fields of societal action has extended to many areas of public policy; more than a dozen ministries have budgets dedicated to cultural action, to combat economic, educational, digital and other divides. All institutions work overall to weave social bonds. However, while recent studies show the economic power of cultural productions, what about the economic weight of sociocultural actions? Their impact on jobs, economic revitalization, societal change?
