Group Show
December 6-8, 2022
Théâtre national de l'Opéra Comique, Paris

---

DANAE.IO is pleased to present the first digital group show, "From the Future, Give Us News," within a public institution.

Taking place at the heart of the Opéra Comique, and in harmony with lyrical art, the artists create bridges to elsewhere, showcasing the vibrancy of the ideals conveyed by lyrical art, modern myths that shape our societies. Together, they make a plea, a cry of hope in the face of fears, against the chronicle of an anticipated defeat of life.

Organization of four panel discussions featuring, among others, the following personalities: Anne-Laure Janeczek (Project Director at the Digital Department of the Ministry of Culture); Pierre Person (Former Deputy, rapporteur of a parliamentary information mission on crypto-assets); Brian Beccafico (Head of NFT Department, Sotheby's Europe).
