The 4th Biennale des Imaginaires Numériques will open its doors on November 7, 8 and 9, 2024 in Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Avignon and the PACA region.

In a world where environmental and social crises are piling up, the Biennale des Imaginaires Numériques 2024 wanted to reflect on the place of pleasure in our daily lives: imagining how we can rediscover sources of joy despite the challenges we face.

Michael Foessel distinguishes between two forms of pleasure: those that can be called “satisfaction-pleasures”, which correspond to the fulfillment of a prior desire. These are the most numerous and the most habitual, and relate to the things that make up our daily lives, such as food, culture, sex and so on. Then there are the “event-pleasures”, which are not preceded by a desire, since nothing made them foreseeable. These pleasures introduce a new imagination into reality. That’s what makes them subversive in essence: before experiencing them, we didn’t necessarily think they were conceivable, and then we have the real experience of the impossible becoming possible.

Full dates and program coming soon.
