Under the "Freeze-frame 2009" banner, the visual image in all its forms has
pride of place in the new exhibitions at the Cité des télécoms, which run from
6 February to 30 December 2009.
With digital imaging technology and developments in very high-speed broadband,
researchers and industry professionals are now applying images to art, medicine
and the environment, etc. The Cité des télécoms is hosting three exhibitions,
a voyage to the centre of digital imaging.
beyond the image
Digital imaging enables many applications, in areas as diverse as the arts, health,
surveillance and the environment. This exhibition offers a kaleidoscope of digital
creations, both educational and recreational.
new technologies, the art of convergence
The progress of new technologies enable communication services to be offered
across all platforms (TV, mobile and PC), and thereby to stay connected anytime
and anywhere.
The moving image is at the centre of all new uses, such as MMS messages, television,
mobile or even webcam communication. This exhibition explores new uses related
to digital convergence drawn from daily life scenarios.
broadband and fibre-optics, network and uses
With very high-speed broadband, it will soon be possible to see high-definition
television, listen to music, watch films, play online games and share photos or
videos over online social networks, all at the same time and anywhere in the home.
This exhibition is a close-up of the incredible capacity of light to transmit
data at lightning speed.
