Digital Arts Encounters - Flanders & Québec

11.02.2026

Both Flanders and Québec have dynamic and diverse digital arts scenes. To strengthen these connections, a programme of encounters is offered to artists, professionals, and public decision-makers working in the fields of digital arts and culture.

This programme aims to encourage knowledge sharing and contribute to the development of a sustainable professional network between Flanders and Québec.

It features a series of online meetings, including presentations, exchanges, and discussions centered on themes exploring our relationship with technological evolution.

This program is an initiative of Ateliers Belleville (Montreal), Pia Baltazar (Montreal/Brussels), iMAL (Brussels), Molior (Montreal), Perte de Signal (Montreal), Tallieu Art Office (Brussels), and Werktank (Leuven), with the support of Flanders Arts Institute and the Quebec Government Office in Brussels.

Art and Technology: Towards Regenerative (Post-)Digital Creation

Rather than adding another layer of innovation to hyperproduction, we propose to explore the paths of digital degrowth and to try and reinvent the social function of digital creation.

How can we produce works that regenerate rather than deplete? How can we foster a digital literacy that is empowering, especially in contexts where technology provokes distrust or rejection, and where its extractive usage causes actual damage? How can we rely on DIY methods, trial-and-error approaches, and the sharing of knowledge to help everyone understand and appropriate these tools? How can we create a slower, more open, and more sustainable digital world — one that we inhabit rather than merely consume?
