Association and members

The mission of the MIAM (Machine Immersive et Artistique en Mouvement) association is to promote the creation and dissemination of immersive music, support innovative media technologies and assist artists wishing to inspire a diverse audience.

It explores a wide range of forms: sound journeys, concerts with augmented acoustics, spatial performances, multichannel listening evenings, workshops and artistic residencies. These are some of the many ways to share the richness of listening and creation.

In a few years' time, MIAM will be recognised internationally for the quality of its space, its productions and its creations. The association will have contributed to popularising multidisciplinary immersive creation (sound, image, body, space) and will be developing a network with numerous cultural institutions, participating in the dissemination of renowned works.

At the same time, MIAM will be attracting a wide audience, drawn both by the unique nature of the events on offer and by the warm welcome offered by the venue, thereby contributing to the profile of the local cultural scene.

MIAM was set up to make the most of a space and a sound installation of exceptional quality, in response to the public's growing need for original and interdisciplinary stage experiences.

• Inclusion and welcoming of the public and artists in the best conditions and without distinction.
• Quality and uniqueness of the installation, programming and creations.
• Raising the profile of immersive sound art and the professions that make it possible.

• To manage and maintain a cultural space and its resources, by developing a centre of technical and artistic expertise dedicated to interdisciplinary and immersive creation in Fribourg.
• To produce projects and events in collaboration with local, national and international artists, collectives and cultural institutions.
• To become a benchmark in Switzerland for the creation and hosting of immersive projects, and to contribute to the democratisation and promotion of these artistic experiences.

To support the committee and the association in their vision and their ability to make proposals, a strategic committee has been set up. Its role is to advise and support, but it has no decision-making powers.
