With ‘Digital Icons’ (as part of the seventh edition of the biennal Transnumériques), Transcultures, at the invitation of Central, (cultural centre of La Louvière) is offering an exhibition (+ associated events) in the museum exhibition spaces around mutations and translations of the various signs-images, data-images, networks-images which proliferate in our hypersphere and contaminate, for better and worse, our gaze and our imagination.

If we can usually say that the image is a representation, a setting in the present of an absent object, with the information revolution that we are experiencing, this actualization of a virtuality that is both always close together and always pushed back, explodes mutant and turbulent manner.

How do contemporary multi-creators decipher / divert / reinvent these multiple imaginary shifts? ‘Digital Icons ‘ (curated by Philippe Franck & Jacques Urbanska) offers us some visions (poetic, committed, offbeat, …), the fruit of various modes of artistic re-appropriation, which question and stimulate our critical gaze.
