“Novembre Numérique” is an international initiative led by the French Institute in Paris that aims to promote access for all to new technologies, to promote the diversity and universal dialogue between creators and audiences.
Inside French embassies, art galleries, cultural spaces, universities, shopping centers, colonial houses…, Welcome to L’Alliance Française 💫
🥂Exhibiting simultaneously in 11 cities in 9 countries during “Digital November”. A unique exhibition of exhibitions. Reinventing the versatility and universality of art like never before. MERCI 🇫🇷
🎨🤖 My art and all its versions, from physical pieces to augmented reality, from immersive art to educational content. From large-format canvases to A4 sheets, from animations to audios, from virtual galleries to video-projections.
💡Each exhibition is the same and each exhibition is completely different. The same artworks, but different audiences, cultures, religions, ideologies, generations, feelings. Liberté, créativité, diversité 🇫🇷✨
🌸 My exhibition “Digital Art, Digital Culture” seeks to exemplify the power of digital art to transcend spatial, temporal and generational boundaries, to create synergies between different audiences and to make art not only timeless, but also universal, accessible, understandable.
❤️ This is about creativity and joy. Diversity and culture. Future and legacy. Color and hope. Friendship and kindness. This is art beyond art, art without limits. The art that unites us.
👉 HONORED AND DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO L’ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE. LOVE ♾️
This is the best example of the versatility of digital art. Its ability to share synergies with different audiences around the world without borders. Through physical art, augmented reality, multimedia and immersive content and virtual galleries, visitors can enjoy some of Bakkali’s masterpieces anywhere, anytime, and learn about the tools, creative process, uses and values of digital art.
EMPOWERMENT, DEMOCRATIZATION AND SUSTAINABILITY
“The new artistic movements and trends that are digitally based or complemented by the use of digital tools and technologies open up new discussions on sustainability and social responsibility, debates on the need to generate opportunities and create artistic contexts that grow around more accessible, open and equitable principles and spaces, without physical or generational barriers that limit access to art and artistic creation through new technologies. Thinking about the future of art also means thinking about the challenges and the many benefits offered by digital spaces. (…) Art is transformative when it becomes an organic and daily tool for empowerment. Art is transformative when genius and originality inspire emotion and reflection, dialogue and recreation. Art is transformative when its aesthetic and conceptual function transcends spatial, temporal and generational boundaries. Art is a timeless, exclusive and unique luxury, and it is transformative when artists turn it into an accessible, understandable and useful commodity. Art is transformative when it has the unlimited reach and impact of transmitting and sharing knowledge. Art is a matter of form and substance, of imagination and information.”
