The Scam Invite is a series of meetings organised in partnership with the festivals it supports. These encounters are driven by the desire to share original points of view, during an unexpected dialogue between two personalities working in fields that are a priori remote: culture, science, philosophy, engineering, music, architecture, plastic arts, mathematics, landscape, video…
What if the celebrations of the primitive arts did not (almost) systematically overshadow the European continent?

Henri Tauliaut created in 2020 Water Divinity Game, a video game and an interactive and immersive installation that plunges us into the culture of the Caribbean basin, and conveys a spiritual, ancestral, and universal memory.
Henri Tauliaut is an Afro-Caribbean artist, professor and researcher. He defines himself as techno-shaman or Afro-cyberpunk.

For the past twenty years, he has pursued cross explorations between nature, science, art and ritual.
He is the author of a thesis: Biological and digital arts in relation to the living in contemporary artists from the Caribbean and the American continent, in which he explores the origins of digital art and discusses many artists and their works.
