For 3 days and 2 outstanding nights, this giant multimedia playground of
almost 600 square meters is to welcome installations, shows, concerts
and performances. Emergences also proposes 2 electro pluged nights and,
at day time, a "GameART" exhibition which will connect the Cité des
sciences et de l’industrie with the Maison de la Villette.
