Les Immatériaux

"Les Immatériaux" is an influential exhibition held in 1985 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, curated by philosopher Jean-François Lyotard and architect Manfredo Tafuri. It explored the impact of digital technology and abstract concepts on art and architecture. The exhibition featured works that suggested a shift from physical, tangible materials to more conceptual and ephemeral forms, reflecting the increasing importance of information, communication, and virtual realities in contemporary culture. It prompted viewers to reconsider how they understand and interact with art in a rapidly changing, technology-driven world.
