On Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1, 2022, I’m attending the 32nd ENIAROF at the Pillard factory in Marseille. THE HYDRA MONSTER FUNFAIR, as mentioned on their website, is a popular digital Eniarof festival celebrating DIY and digital tinkering. ENIAROF is “Foraine” (funfair) spelled backwards. The “Pillard factory” is a former internal combustion engine plant. It is covered in graphite, a typical feature of the Marseilles landscape. The central alley of the former factory is transformed into a creative space, flooded with curious machines in the process of being installed. The place navigates between the zany and the cutting-edge, digital technology and serious sawdust. Among the festival’s participants, I have the opportunity to spend some time chatting with Antonin Fourneau, who founded the festival with Douglas Stanley, his former teacher at the Beaux-Arts d’Aix en Provence. I also discover the projects of Finnish artist Kati Hyyppä, who works in duo with her partner Niklas Roy from Berlin. With artist Jérémie Cortial from Cosmodule, with Chloé Desmoineaux who founded Fluid Space in Marseille, and with members of the Pang Pang club. I’m struck by the diversity of proposals and approaches. While some of the works reflect critically on our lifestyles, others seem to explore other cultural trajectories of technology in a playful way. What they all have in common is the famous scotch tape delimiting the area of each installation. A mix of technology, games and original, unexpected interactions. All in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
