From 2 to 11 October 2020, Electroni[k] presented the 20th edition of Maintenant, a festival of arts, music and new technologies.
The 2020 edition has been redesigned and adapted to the unexpected health context. For six months, the festival teams have built, deconstructed and reconstructed the programme, with the aim of ensuring and preserving the links between artists, audiences and artworks. At a time when society is accelerating its digitisation, Maintenant wanted to experiment with new forms, to favour interaction and maintain the relationship with people. At a moment when the existence of cultural events is being questioned, the festival has been able to maintain itself thanks to a collective that shares the conviction that culture is even more essential in the delicate period we are going through, and contributes to the well-being of everyone.
In figures:
- 12 000 visitors
