CHRONIQUES was designated in 2024 by the Ministry of Culture, Resource Hub for Artistic Creation in the Digital Environment for the PACA region.
In response to changes in digital technology and its uses, and to better support hybrid and transdisciplinary forms of artistic creation in the digital environment, the Ministry of Culture is setting up regional resource hubs with a view to better structuring the ecosystem. The aim is to support artists and professionals and to structure ecosystems and cooperation at the regional level, particularly in terms of production and distribution.

Shaped by the contrast and diversity of its dual identity in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, today CHRONIQUES is a major international arts event and a human-powered organisation that has pursued the same goal with obsessive conviction for over 20 years: to find new forms of aesthetics and imaginary realms that provide insight into our ambivalent relationship with technology.

As a human-powered organisation, are we defined by what we are or by what we do? Are we a biennale, a platform, a network, a label? Or perhaps we’re defined by what we produce, be it exhibitions, creative mentoring, training or events? The answer is all of the above, yet nothing quite captures what makes CHRONIQUES truly unique. To do so, we need to frame it differently: we are what we imagine.
