The article discusses France's new "antimuseum" the Palais de Tokyo which opened in January 2002. It is Paris's new "site for contemporary creation" and opened in response to France's diminished presence on the international scene. The center is not dedicated to any single artist or theme but is modeled on New York's P.S. 1 and will feature emerging, unknown artists. The Palais de Tokyo is described as "a public space in perpetual motion, an institution that is being constantly reactivated." The centre frequently features work by emerging video artists experimenting with new digital media.
