the 2025 theme
Pop Chaos !
At a time when the world seems to be racing towards exemplary, predictable and explainable artificial intelligence, let’s take a look at the computer programmes that overflow, the machines that dream, the algorithms that hallucinate and lose themselves in singular creativity.
Beyond a standardised form of intelligence and framework, let’s look at the in-between spaces: what is less visible, what is hybrid, what is shifting, what is unstable, what is chaotic.
Uncertainty, lack of understanding and surprise can be frightening, but they can also open up new avenues of wonder, pleasure and awareness.
Let’s try to deconstruct our relative intelligences, our certainties and prejudices. Let’s be joyfully unreasonable! Let’s express the many facets of our expressions.

new artistic forms
Recto VRso
The Recto VRso festival explores new forms of immersive and interactive art, between the real and the virtual. The works selected must resonate with the theme and invite the exploration of emerging expressions using digital media in particular, such as: virtual, augmented or mixed reality, immersive devices, generative artificial intelligence, interactive interfaces, robotics, sound spatialisation, presence effects and so on. Hybrid and transdisciplinary approaches are particularly appreciated.
