However budgetary discipline comes out of an excel table error...In the neverending race to progress, the Gamerz Festival offers a pause and a moment dedicated to reflection : time to catch your breath !
Robots dancing all day long, a tri-dimensional landmark over the city of Aix-en-Provence, holographic architectures coming from other times, red fish coveted by a robot cat, bacteria juggling with toys.
More than fifty international artists present multimedia installations in four different places in town. Coming from wide European networks, artists and professionals of digital creation all join the festival to propose a free exhibition tour in town, both recreative and seriously questioning the deep changes at work in our society.
