Since 2017, the French Cultural Institute in Paris and France's international cultural network have been hosting ¡±Digital November,¡± an international festival celebrating French digital culture around the world. This festival focuses on exploring the continuously evolving role of digital technology in our society and presenting a variety of rich digital creations to the public. After successful events at Incheon International Airport in 2020, Platform-L in 2021, S Factory in 2022, and Ara Art Center in 2023, this year marks the fifth edition, held at Bucheon Art Bunker B39. ¡°Digital November¡± will take place in the MMH and Electric Room at Bucheon Art Bunker B39, with additional exhibitions available for viewing throughout the venue.

Digital technology rapidly transforms human knowledge and experiences into data, presenting them as images, texts, and videos. While this offers powerful support to creators, it also raises questions about viewing the world through the lens of digital or mechanical perspectives. This is because digital technology can simulate or replace human senses. Although technological advancement sometimes causes anxiety, it reminds us that the underlying perceptions and worldviews have been shaped through long human history. We hope this event provides an opportunity to discover the human mind's consciousness, reactions, and interactions in real-time within digitally simulated spaces, digital humans, and avatars.
