Vice Versa 5.0 | Creative Crossborder Meeting | arts, recherche, industries culturelles

Digital arts-research-cultural and creative industries meeting

Initiated by Transcultures (Center for Digital and Sound Cultures) in 2014 in collaboration with the Numediart Research Institute (University of Mons), Vice Versa intends to give a particular visibility and to provoke a critical and public reflection about Arts / Sciences projects known as « innovative “, related to important issues of digital cultures in close connection with the fields of research and cultural and creative industries.

For its fifth edition, hosted by the Mons Mundaneum and organized as part of the cross-border project C2L3PLAY – Cross Border Living Labs, Vice Versa highlights the achievements and research of this living lab of the cross-border zone bringing together fifteen or so partners in 3 regions (Wallonia, Hauts-de-France, West Flanders) and coordinated since 2016 by the Numediart Research Institute of the University of Mons.

Vice Versa # 5 proposes a morning of ideas sessions for digital and innovative projects coordinated by the Louvre Lens Vallée Incubator / Accelerator of Cultural Enterprises (reserved for C2L3Play partners); an afternoon of meetings around digital cultures, research and its concrete applications punctuated by networking breaks.
