GLOBAL SCREEN
Curators: Gilles Lipovetsky, Jean Serroy, Andrés Hispano
24 January 2012 to 28 May 2012

The aim of the exhibition is to show the power of the screen (seduction, shock, information, archetype, surveillance, immediacy,interactivity...), a power which, during the course of technological breakthroughs, has grown, been renewed and diffracted, from the power of the initial format – film – which has since encroached on all the spaces of everyday life in the city: the proliferation of screens, screens everywhere you go, screens which show you everything and which allow you to do everything, the TV screen,the video screen, miniature screens, touch screens, recreational screens, information screens... The screen has become a constituent element of hypermodern societies.
The exhibition sets out to show the power that has been transferred from the big cinema screen to all types of digital screen.
