Culturespaces, the French private operator of cultural venues, has announced its expansion into Japan. The company will manage a new immersive digital art center in Tokyo, following its successful model of transforming historic or industrial spaces into digital art destinations, similar to its Atelier des Lumières in Paris and similar venues worldwide.
This move marks a significant step in the globalization of the immersive digital art experience, a trend accelerated by the pandemic. It also signals the growing influence of French cultural management models in Asia, and the increasing appetite for large-scale, technology-driven art presentations in Japan, a country already known for its embrace of digital culture.
