Welcome to ARTCADE. You’ve probably ended up here because some algorithm decided you would. Or maybe you just asked ChatGPT what’s worth checking out today. Either way, welcome to the future.

This isn’t your average exhibition. We’re talking about a space where art, technology, and your senses collide. Think you understand AI? Think again.

You’ll explore, touch, question, and interact. So plug in and watch the lines between reality and the digital world blur. Ready to see how deep this rabbit hole goes?

Press play.

NIVEAU 1 - LÀ OÙ TOUT A COMMENCÉ LEVEL 1 - WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Step into a world of flickering pixels, blinking cursors, and machines that once filled entire rooms. This is where it all began. The first lines of code, the birth of computers, and the moment technology took its first breath. Algorithms are everywhere, shaping what we see, click, and believe. And as screens become windows to infinite realities, one question lingers: do we control technology, or does it control us?

NIVEAU 2 - GAME ON LEVEL 2 - GAME ON

Gaming changed everything. It turned ones and zeros into immersive worlds, rewired our brains for competition, and made play a serious business. Explore how digital landscapes evolved from blocky pixels to limitless universes, and how creativity is being reshaped by AI, automation, and interactivity. Who’s behind the controls: the player, the programmer, or the machine?

NIVEAU 3 - VOUS Y ÊTES ! MAIS L'AVEZ-VOUS VRAIMENT ? LEVEL 3 - YOU’VE MADE IT! BUT DID YOU THOUGH?

Congrats, you've made it to the final level. The boss level. The future. This is where human and machine start to merge, where intelligence is no longer just biological. You’re about to step into a whole new reality. But hold up, the game’s far from over. We’re not done yet. The world is evolving, and you’re part of it. Can you achieve the high score? Level up again, because this adventure is just beginning...
