Cybel’Art Journal — technology with people at its heart
Behind every experience are artists, works, places and people. The Cybel’Art Journal explores the encounters and ideas that give innovation its purpose: augmented presence, immersive concerts, publishing, cultural heritage and new ways to connect the physical and digital worlds.
Discover articles by Pierluigi Christophe Orunesu, editorially adapted from his Substack for the Cybel’Art website, alongside our press coverage. Each article retains its original publication date and links to its source. Our stories distinguish documented achievements from ideas and features still in development.

Preserving Human Presence in a Synthetic Age
As synthetic imagery expands, volumetric capture offers a way to document performers and know-how in an immersive form. The focus is on passing on a recorded human presence while keeping existing work distinct from the ambitions announced for cultural and educational institutions.
