We had an interesting talk with Nicolas , creator of the French art magazine Digital Temple.
Remember Sixpack France has been featured on their latest issue.
Today, the roles are reversed.
Can you introduce yourself ?
I am the one in charge of the organisation of space and its structure within DIGITAL TEMPLE Magazine. I am the guardian oh these places in a way. Here they call me The Templar and it suits me perfectly. But maybe I shall present you DIGITAL TEMPLE:
DIGITAL TEMPLE is a Design, Art and Lifestyle Magazine.
It includes artists all over the world and its readership comes from more than 160 countries.
Its goal is to create a unity, and in the vanguard, a unique structure for all the artists.
The Magazine comes out every three months both in French and English.
It is for free.
As one goes along we get many different themes, going from Art to Design, from Photography to Fashion, from Illustration to Painting, from Video to Music.
For further information and to understand more deeply what DIGITAL TEMPLE Magazine is, I invite you to have a look on www.digital-temple.com
And never forget to read the Culture rubric.
How would you define DIGITAL TEMPLE in a few words?
DIGITAL TEMPLE is a window open on a constantly moving universe. Trying to catch up the signs that one observes remains a very difficult exercise.
In order to go even further, the purely digital, numerical and online magazine sets a periodicity. Pausing and establishing a lead time in a world where everything goes at top speed is a real challenge.
DIGITAL TEMPLE is independent and that makes evolution perspectives entirely possible. Its history is written issue by issue. It is not obvious to follow one path in the press online universe and today, it still does not exist despite its reality.
We keep up with our times and do not wish to disturb already set elements, on the contrary, we would like to keep them evolving. But that is another question…
Can you disclose a bit your editorial line, what are the values that DIGITAL TEMPLES stands up for?
We have already felt this particular sensation of totally white blank page. As an example, I could illustrate it through the empty bowl: Some might see its material, its shape, its colour…
Others might see its emptiness, in other terms what defines it and makes it useful.
Here is the first value defended by DIGITAL TEMPLE, creativity above all.
Avant-Garde or Pop Art?
I believe they are inseparable. There is here a question of temporality.
Pop Art was not Avant-Garde in its times?
Results that came from this art movement were only the future traces of what is known today. If there is a choice to make, I would stay as much as possible in the Avant-Garde thing.
Man should constantly put himself in danger.
Silver or Numeric?
Silver for moments highly filled with sex appeal.
Numeric simply for all the other moments.
Europe or US ?
The European eye on the US headways. Keeping only the best.
Paper press or press online?
The choice was made and it defines DIGITAL TEMPLE.
The press online adventure is an everyday fight but the effort worth it.
The existence of the press online remains a first step and this stage is the most interesting, the most free, the most hectic since it allows some tries.
The paper press made mistakes and it is important to draw the conclusions so as to avoid their reproduction.
Martin Margiela or Henrik Vibskov ?
Unfailing objectivity.
Let me meet these two creators, and together I promise you to elaborate some beautiful projects.
Any addictions?
Yes and often multiples.
** Noises of chairs that are moved on the ground**
Throats clearing, I am making my voice clearer. Eyes turn towards me, I am standing and all the others are sat down.
“Hello. It’s been a while that I multiply addictions and I talk about them with you because I have the true impression to accept them and I don’t want to change them for anything in the world…”
** Multiple and aghast sounds of voices, due to the air that one vigorously inhales in the lungs making the vocal chords vibrate when passing in the pharynx.**
Very bad start, I concede it, especially when people are really looking for a cure…
What Film are you ?
I am Jack’s repeated addictions.
What Disc are you ?
A 8,760 hours playlist with quite a lot of doubloons.
What Man are you ?
An adult who will remain a teenager for a long time.
A clever psychic mix unable to stop time.
An eye on what is happening without ever forgetting the road that has been travelled.
The inevitable thought that one day, that magnificent snowflake will melt on a car bonnet.
What Woman are you ?
Sensitive for sure, with a pinch of craziness, uncontrollable when she starts.
Dark but so hysterical.
The kind of woman that won’t go unnoticed.
