World Premiere – La chambre des mémoires à-venir
in the forbidden basements of Paris La Défense
From September 16 to October 01, 2023, Paris hosts the world premiere of La Chambre des mémoires à-venir.
Two partners, Mondes Nouveaux and Paris La Défense, have joined forces to offer the public a unique experience: the discovery of a complex world where you are invited to get lost or find yourself, for a period of 30 minutes, in the forbidden basements of Paris La Défense.
La chambre des mémoires à-venir is designed by architect François Roche, who has brought together a multidisciplinary, international team with New-Territories: philosopher Emanuele Coccia (France) & artist Mika Tamori (Japan/Thailand), artist-director Chris Delaporte (France), sound designer Damien Sorrentino (France) and actress Laura Benson (UK/France). Signaling the return of New-Territories_S/her to Europe, France and Paris, La Chambre des mémoires à-venir is the ultimate opportunity to plunge beneath the Paris La Défense slab into these forbidden places, programmed to be re-structured.

Synthetic Cities is an exhibition that centers on identifying modes of human-machine co-authorship that question and explore creativity and originality. The city, in this instance, becomes a symbolic representation that reflects on the human condition and on collective and personal expression. It serves as a focal point for constructing narratives that strive to capture originality and contribute to the discourse on how we create, understand, and engage with the co-authored artistic content. The six original works presented in the exhibition function as an interconnected apparatus that invites the viewers into ever-unfolding cityscapes, revealing intriguing connections between reality and imagination and showcasing conditions for an interplay between artificial creation and human perception.
