Fabien Fabre – Development Manager & Transversal Cultural Projects Manager

With fifteen years of professional experience, I can see the benefits of being bicultural. On one hand, my education in scientific and technological fields reflects my enthusiasm for technology and the empowerment it provides to users, as well as my interest in project ideation and synthesizing situations. On the other hand, I have pursued an artistically oriented and cultural career, first as an artist and then as an entrepreneur and cultural manager. By combining a deep interest in collective projects and human organizations, I have been able to found and lead several ambitious cultural projects on the theme of digital art and culture, with a particular focus on transmission and cooperation.
