Virtuel ! Et Alors ?
A Curious Traveler's Itinerary For the 5th year, the ASV Cultural Center continues to develop initiatives centered on a social theme. From September through December 2026, it will be “Virtual!” So what?
Artificial Intelligence is entering our lives at an unprecedented pace. It is transforming the way we work, learn, create, communicate, and stay informed.
Behind the promises of innovation, however, lie many questions: What will be the consequences for our professions? On our social connections? On our relationship with knowledge? On artistic creation? On our freedoms—to exercise our critical thinking or to protect the environment?
Rather than offering ready-made answers, “Virtual! So What??” provides a space for discovery, awareness, experimentation, and reflection... Over the course of four months, café discussions, lectures, performances, exhibitions, workshops, and meetups will provide opportunities to exchange perspectives with specialists, artists, professionals, and citizens.
As you can see, the goal is neither to celebrate new technologies nor to condemn them. It is to give everyone the tools to demystify artificial intelligence, to foster personal reflection, and to maintain their free will. It is essential to preserve this ability to question, understand, and choose.
Open to everyone, “Virtual! So What??” will appeal to schoolchildren and seniors alike, from residents to professionals, including local governments and organizations, not to mention anyone curious about the subject—all united by a shared goal: to make digital technology a topic of culture, understanding, and shared debate.
