In a desire to stimulate the local cultural fabric and reduce the digital divide in the territory, the Micro-Folie project led by the Ministry of Culture and coordinated by the Parc de la Villette aims to bring works of art closer to its young audience.
A press conference was held last Thursday at the Aline Hanson school in Sandy Ground, which will be the first school to benefit from the system in early February 2023 in the presence of Vincent Berton, delegate prefect of the Northern Islands, Dominique Démocrite-Louisy , 3rd vice-president of the Collectivité, Evelyne Fleming, project manager for National Education, Sophie Biraud, assistant to the director of Cultural Affairs of Guadeloupe and finally, Manon Neyrat, operational manager of Micro-Folie for the Parc de la Villette who detailed this system which revolves around a Digital Museum in collaboration with twelve founding national cultural establishments: the Pompidou Center, the Palace of Versailles, the City of Music – Philharmonie de Paris, the Avignon Festival, the Arab World Institute, the Louvre, the Picasso-Paris National Museum, the Orsay Museum, the Museum du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, the Paris Opera, the Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand Palais, Universcience and La Villette. Four modules will be deployed, with an exceptional three-year loan for the territory of Saint-Martin: a digital museum with 5000 works in High Definition consisting of a giant screen and connected tablets, a virtual reality space, a FabLab (laboratory room that gives access to digital manufacturing tools such as the 3D printer) and a toy library with books, board games and tools for cultural actions that will be carried out in collaboration with the voluntary sector. The Micro-Folie system will be deployed in turn in four schools with the Aline Hanson school in Sandy Ground as the launch base, the Mont des Accords middle school, the Robert Weinum high school and the Quartier d'Orléans middle school. Young people from Saint-Martin will therefore soon be able to have access to art via 8 collections and a 9th in preparation dedicated to artists from the Caribbean. With more than 330 Micro-Madness devices deployed around the world, this local cultural platform is at the service of actors in the field to animate the territory, reduce geographical inequalities and bring together young people and the population around art and culture. . The impatience is palpable until the launch in February 2023! _VX
