The ‘digitalisation’ of the world is underway, driven by the ubiquitous presence of connected objects and applications at all levels of everyday life. As a result, human behaviour has evolved at a rapid pace. ‘Digital transition’, “digitalisation”, ‘digitisation’: the terminology used to describe these phenomena is as vague as it is ideological. These expressions favour a contemporary view of practices that are in fact long-standing. Talking about revolution or transition overlooks the existence of processes that have been unfolding over a long period of time.
In anticipation of its temporary exhibition Le futur, c’est quoi?, the MEG welcomes the journal Techniques & Culture, which is dedicating its latest issue to the subject.
Speakers: Flavia Carraro, Lecturer and Researcher, Lisst-Cas, University of Toulouse; Jean-Michel Geneste, honorary heritage curator, UMR PACEA –Bordeaux University ; Frédéric Joulian, Senior Lecturer, EHESS, Aix-Marseille University.
