VIRTUALITY AS REALITY

Curated By Jessica Castex and Odile Burluraux

Invited to participate in the Serendipity Festival, the Musée d’Art moderne de Paris offers an exhibition entitled Virtuality as Reality. Based on a selection of films from the museum's collection, the project reflects the idea of virtuality that irrigates ever more strongly the daily life. This virtualisation of human societies questioned by artists, is creating new territories, it is transforming the being and its relationship to the world. Through the exhibition, we can foresee the portrait of a generation of artists qualified as 'Digital natives' who have integrated the uses of the web and social networks into their practices. Their speculations, their questions sketch out scenarios that are sometimes exciting, sometimes worrying and seem to alert us on the future of the connected human being.
