We want to talk about landscapes, digitalization, and how what surrounds us is in a position to be preserved, remixed, or reactivated. Four professionals who, coming from diverse contexts but sharing the same transformative ambition, work to expand the boundaries of what we understand as digital culture, contemporary creation, and public institution. Trajectories that intersect on a European map of alliances, sharing a strong commitment to innovation, connection, and engagement with audiences as central axes.
From Lille, Marie Dumontier drives initiatives combining visual education, audiovisual experimentation, and new cultural dissemination formats through Rencontres Audiovisuelles.With a pedagogical and open approach, she turns proximity into a creative resource and circulates new audiovisual languages aimed at citizen participation and the transformation of collective imaginaries.
In Namur, Charlotte Benedetti is part of the Kikk Festival team, a European benchmark in digital creation and technological art. From her curatorial and organizational role, she builds an ecosystem where art, science, design, and technology not only coexist but contaminate and project towards the future, from a decentralizing perspective open to surprise.
From Athens, Heracles Papatheodorou works at ONX — the digital branch of the Onassis Foundation — developing projects that connect critical thinking, curatorial practices, and technology. His approach emphasizes collaborative formats, hybrid processes, and experimental spaces that challenge boundaries between disciplines and roles, opening new scenarios for contemporary creation.
And from Donostia, Clara Montero leads the culture and creation area at Tabakalera,, a center that has established itself as a living laboratory for production, research, and artistic experimentation. With a solid background in public management and cultural policies, she defends an institution rooted in the territory, in constant dialogue with communities, and attentive to the urgencies of our time.
