Paris, March 3, 2026 – The EDF Group Foundation is set to unveil its major exhibition of the year, ‘Me and the Others: Artists’ Perspectives on Our Online Lives’, offering a sensitive, insightful, and at times surprising dive into the world of the internet and screens. The exhibition, running from March 13 to September 27, 2026, aims to shed light on how our digital interactions shape our choices and connections.
The Digital Shift: Reshaping Our Social Fabric
In recent years, our social interactions have increasingly migrated online. From virtual conversations and long-distance relationships to online communities, algorithmic recommendations, and self-staging, these digital habits have profoundly transformed our behaviors, emotions, and perception of reality. The exhibition brings together 23 artists who, through humor, poetry, or conviction, invite visitors to reflect on this silent shift of our lives towards the digital realm.
An Immersive Journey Through Three Thematic Axes
The exhibition features approximately thirty French and international artworks, structuring an immersive journey around three major thematic axes:
- EGO: Our relationship with ourselves in the digital age.
- ALTER: Our relationship with others online.
- HOLO: Living together in the online world.
The curatorship is entrusted to Aurélie Clemente-Ruiz, director of the Musée de l’Homme, and Camille Roth, a sociologist specializing in online communities. Their combined artistic and scientific approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the societal transformations brought about by digital technology.
A Space for Reflection and Dialogue
Beyond its artistic dimension, ‘Me and the Others’ seeks to foster dialogue about internet usage, encourage critical thinking, and address both the risks and opportunities presented by the digital landscape. The EDF Group Foundation welcomes groups free of charge, offering dedicated mediation tailored for schools and beneficiaries of associations.
Practical Information
The exhibition will be held at the EDF Group Foundation, located at 6 rue Juliette Récamier, Paris 7e. It will be open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with a late opening on Thursdays until 10:00 PM. Admission is free, but reservations are required.

Going Further: A Three-Day Festival
