HOUSE OF DIGITAL ART
Go there and contact
At the crossroads of art, technology, design and society, this new museum and experimental space propels Port Louis into the digital age, offering a unique exhibition, interaction and experimentation venue in Mauritius. Housed in a historic eighteenth-century building that acts as a bridge between the present and the future, the space features interactive and/or immersive works and installations that not only showcase contemporary creativity, but also stimulate our imaginations, emotions and senses. It's beautiful, astonishing, completely innovative for Mauritius and, beyond that, a catalyst for greater importance to be given to art in the country by, for example, training more cultural mediators as is the case here. So we love it and we encourage you: go for it!
Renewed every 8 months, the exhibition offers a confidential but cutting-edge and ultra-qualitative selection of sound, kinetic and volumetric works, as well as interactive and augmented-reality installations. The most spectacular highlight is the immersive projection room, where visitors can stroll through a total sound and visual spectacle! Mauritian poet Edouard Maunick's poem S'il était un territoire entre midi et minuit (If there were a land between noon and midnight) is the theme of this inaugural season, which plunges us into the chaos of natural elements (volcanoes, cyclones, etc.), plays on the diffraction of light on lava and more.
Also workshops and lectures, cultural center with library. Drinks and snacks trailer in the courtyard.
