Image extrême
Winter 2002
[In French] Dans ce dossier à auteur unique, Paul Ardenne propose une analytique de l’image : définir ce qu’est, au plus près, l’image « extrême »; penser, dans la foulée, le rapport du regard à ce type d’image; enfin, tenter de répondre à la question : pourquoi aspirons-nous, êtres de regard que nous sommes, à la brutalité de l’image « extrême » ?

Immersion
Winter 2026
This issue is interested in all forms of immersion in contemporary art. How are artists critically engaging with immersive technologies? Conversely, what kinds of practices are challenging technology in their pursuit of immersion? How are these experiences breaking down the boundaries between spectator, body, and art? We put forward proposals that rely on listening and sustained attention rather than on amplification and sensory overload – works using devices that are sometimes relatively simple and non-invasive, sometimes a little more elaborate, but in which participation is, with a few nuances, neither passive nor devoid of critical thinking.
