29th festival Les Instants vidéo

State of Poetic Emergency

Video and digital arts are today developing in a very worrisome international, social and political context. Fear of foreigners. Decline of civil liberties. Fright of human passions. Desires of emancipation under security control. Management nonsense is the rule. Electronic poetry invents new languages to think the world differently and to take part in its transformation. Let’s declare the State of Poetic Emergency. We expect the 29th festival to be unbridled, inventive, with no taboo, cosmopolitan, sensitive, serious and joyous…
