This autumn, a new digital art festival is coming to the gates of Paris. The venue is the charming town of Vincennes, on line 1 of the Paris metro. Located on the edge of the eponymous wood, this lively Val-de-Marne commune is best known for its emblematic monument: the Château de Vincennes. The latter is at the heart of the artistic animation that awaits us from October 18 to November 2, 2024.
Vincennes, Château de Lumières is the name of this luminous festival showcasingdigital art in Vincennes. For 12 evenings, from 6.30pm to 11pm, the town becomes an artistic stage. Enthusiasts and the curious are invited to stroll among the works of digital art, some of them interactive. We already know that this itinerary includes creations by Jérémie Bellot, artistic director of the edition, including Unfold, Le Miroir de l'âme and Bouncing light. Atelier Sisu and Nicolas Paolozzi are also scheduled to take part, with their respective works Evanescent and Resonance.
The highlight of the show will take place at the Château de Vincennes itself: from the royal courtyard, a monumental projection will be shown on the façade of the historic monument in a sound and light show entitled"Journey through the centuries". André Manoukian 's voice will be heard on a soundtrack composed in tandem with Ena Eno.
The town of Vincennes also points out that the event has been designed to limit the carbon footprint of this artistic event organized jointly with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux and the Service historique de la défense des Armées: "The lighting will be LED and the video projectors laser technology for controlled energy consumption. On-site catering stands will feature organic and local produce". Stay tuned for the opening of the ticket office!
