The "Digital Cultures" course is a constellation of theoretical and practical elements gathered around a common effort: working to define digital cultures in a collective and transversal way, the aim of this gathering is to understand and practice current digital tools and environments under several approaches (historical, philosophical and political). Technologies are crystallizations of various political, aesthetic, economic, etc. forces that are not themselves technical. It is therefore not so much the technical characteristics of the Internet, for example, that are decisive for digital culture (our Zeitgeist), but rather their effects. Not their way of operating strictly speaking, but the operations that support these operations. To access these operations, two paths intersect and become one: we learn to play with formats and conventions, to speak the code, to fold, unfold and write it while developing theoretical tools (between philosophy and poetry) to understand what the code makes us do and what we do to the code. The Digital Cultures course is a 2-part toolbox, consisting of theoretical courses and practical workshops. Theoretical courses are common to all students. A priori independent, they are part of a common corpus, shared and published by teachers and students. These presentations provide a material to deploy / criticize / extend during the practical modules. The practical workshop moments are divided into three parallel workshops over two sessions where all students are divided into three groups.

The Digital Cultures course is a 2-part toolbox, consisting of theoretical courses and practical workshops.

This course is experimental - its form has changed every year since its implementation - but it is mandatory.

Theory and practice

The course is structured in 2 workshops. The first will focus on the economy (related to digital of course) and the second will focus on the physical aspects of digital. This site is dedicated to the course, and contains all the information about its dates and contents.

Digital cultures?

digital technologies have been part of our world for more than two centuries. The Jacquard profession around 1801, Babbage's analytical machine, Ada Lovelace's first computer code around 1843 are all steps that testify to a growing interest in machines capable of automatically performing complex calculations, on the one hand, and machines capable of tackling any logical problem, a universal machine, on the other hand.
