Why Artists Exploring New Mediums Go Further

When the porosity of disciplines reveals new creative territories

The intersection of practices as a driver of innovation

The study conducted by Harvard University in 2021 sheds fascinating light: artists who venture out of their comfort zone develop mental agility increased by 40%.

Guided technical immersion

Since 2021, the National Institute of Crafts (INMA) has been offering hybrid workshops combining traditional know-how and digital technologies.

The power of creative dialogues

In Lyon, the “Sous la Surface” collective has brought together glassmakers and electronic composers for five years.

Taking the plunge: overcoming concrete obstacles

The transdisciplinary adventure fascinates, but three major challenges still hold back many creators.

The weight of budgetary constraints remains the number one obstacle, affecting 58% of artists according to the Sacem 2023 barometer.

Creative apprehensions, particularly marked among 42% of artists over 40 (PsyArt Journal, 2022), are combated through a progressive approach.

The lack of time, finally, seems insurmountable when INSEE reveals that artists already devote 31 hours a week to their production.

These three obstacles - money, fear, time - give way in the face of suitable systems.

Crossing borders: new creative geography

This transdisciplinary exploration is no longer an option but a necessity in the contemporary artistic landscape.
