AMUSEMENT is the first lifestyle magazine of the digital generation. Since digital is transforming our culture pixel by pixel, AMUSEMENT hits “Like” and decrypts the challenges of a world of 0 and 1. Games (video), Design (communicating), music (playable), cinema (interactive), literature (clickable), graphics (vector) or art (digital): all the creative fields now have a dose of digital. And so do we.

Personalities such as science fiction author William Gibson, creator of The Sims, Will Wright or the futurist with the 100 patents, Jacques Fresco have explored this new world in our pages. AMUSEMENT thinks (different) but also has fun, inviting artists to share their digital life, including Phoenix, Michel Gondry or Santigold. With the observation: even the worst anti-techno lives somewhere in the digital matrix.

These contents are formatted in an aesthetic approach that explodes the codes of the technological press. “Level-up!”: Fashion photographers always-on, advertisers, illustrators and set designers: AMUSEMENT invites a generation of digital-natives creatives to speak up in its pages. The result is an ultra-contemporary mix with two options: images capturing the immateriality of our time or sanctifying the technological totems surrounding us.

“AMUSEMENT” or the pleasure of acting somewhere else than in the real world, the satisfaction to witness the creation of worlds in the making … or the euphoria of being among those already living there. START.
