Created in 2012, the International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN) is a major contemporary art exhibition dedicated to digital art.
The 4th edition will take place from June 29 to August 5 at Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal. Themed AUTOMATA - Sing the Body Electric, it is inspired by Walt Whitman’s best known early work, “I Sing the Body Electric” (1855). Nowadays, “electrified” bodies interact in many more and new ways, with other bodies and with other systems. In the Anthropocene era, as the dream of augmented body becomes a reality, it is more necessary than ever before that we question our relationship with different technologies as well as their impact on nature.

The 4th edition of the International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN) wraps up this week, and per previous editions it did not lack in ambition. Drawing on the momentum built over the last six years, and – in particular – the excellent last, third edition, this BIAN was dedicated to the theme ‘AUTOMATA: Sing the Body Electric.’

La mission autour du potentiel créatif des technologies les plus avancées n’a pas changé depuis 2012. Le programme est toujours aussi touffu, les lieux de diffusion, aussi nombreux, le mariage expositions/spectacles, aussi… fastidieux.
