EDITO
New venue, new dimension
Because street art was born in urban spaces, and because those who encourage it are often dependent on the sites that host them, this year I wanted to present street art’s impetus towards new technologies. I was also keen to showcase collaborations between artists from different artistic backgrounds.
Augmented reality frescoes, NFT tickets, games areas, software demos created by and/or for graffiti artists – digital art has played an important role in the identity of Peinture Fraîche since the first edition. Ever since new technologies became an integral part of our daily lives, street artists have embraced them, some using digital tools and others creating 3.0 works distributed exclusively online.
That’s why, for this 6th edition, choosing this new, confidential venue meant inviting the new, eminently digital, urban arts scene. The move to this new, more intimate venue and the advent of a new digital scene in urban art were a perfect match for the artistic vision I’m defending.
