OUR VALUES, OUR CONVICTIONS, OUR BELIEFS
Our mission
AT THE FOUNDATION OF OUR ACTIVITIES
We see artistic creation as an embodiment of cultural and social issues, we see art as a space for reflection, invention and free critical thinking, fostering the production of new knowledge;
We work to empower communities (artistic, self-managed, social action, hacker culture, etc.) facing issues raised by digital technologies;
Our ACTIONS
We activate, support and accompany the development of projects at the heart of the issues raised by digital technologies in artistic, cultural and non-profit contexts. These projects fall into three categories: R&C (Research and Creation); R&D (Research and Development); CD (Community Development).
- We promote the emergence of cutting-edge thinking in art theory and practice (R&C)
- We place research and technological development at the service of creation, contemporary artistic reflection and collaborative practices (R&D)
- We develop initiatives that aim to strengthen not only the technological capabilities of different communities, but also their critical thinking, collaboration and creative potential (CD)
With the intention of nurturing collective knowledge, we systematically generate, document, transfer and share the knowledge acquired throughout our activities.
OUR RESOURCES
We equip, train and learn;
We deploy support programs that provide the human and material resources needed to carry out projects;
We mobilize and engage communities around collective issues;
We disseminate, present and facilitate access to artistic projects;
Empathy is at the core of the self-management culture we develop. It is the keystone of all our actions.
In the contemporary techno-scientific landscape, we believe in the need for communities to claim ownership and control over their means of action.
We recognize that the generation and sharing of knowledge contributes to the building of a collective wealth that empowers communities.
Collaboration is a founding, driving principle at the heart of our activities.
We believe in the importance of ongoing adaptation and transformation of our ways of acting, doing, thinking, growing and sharing so that our actions remain in tune with the reality of the communities we support.
Independence, non-conformity, boldness, critical thinking and solidarity define our identity and guide our actions and development.
- WE ARE A HAVEN FOR ARTISTS.
- WE ARE AN INCUBATOR FOR ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIES.
- WE ARE A LABORATORY OF INDOMITABLE PROJECTS.
- WE ARE SPOROBOLE.
