Biennale Némo 2023: I is an other ?

At the heart of Biennale Némo 2023 is the question of multiple identities. The main exhibition at CENTQUATRE-PARIS offers an impressionistic journey through a succession of aesthetically spectacular works, playful creations, videos, and installations that approach the many facets of the digital age from a critical, informative perspective.

Travelling through time from the future to the past, with a stop in the present, the three-part exhibition questions, experiments, analyzes and dreams about how technologies impact online and offline personalities, aesthetics, and human transformations that have taken place or are yet to come.

The exhibition opens with works that introduce the journey and send visitors in search of themselves, on the path to exploring their multiple personalities in the digital age. It draws to a close with a dispersed group of works that expand the realm of possibilities and, perhaps, serve as inspiration to shift the machine into reverse.
