Following this objective the CNC has created DICREAM ( Dispositif pour la création artistique multimédia / Apparatus of digital art creation ) DICREAM support digital art based on a pluri-disciplinary approach employing media such as fixed and moving images, sound, text, sculptures and even architecture and performative arts on the level of creation and diffusion. Further they encourage the use of interactive devices.
