After devising and organising for 3 years (1995-1998) the cultural programs of events of the Web Bar, an internet café cum art gallery in Paris (http://www.webbar.fr/), she joined in 1999 the CICV Pierre Schaeffer, one of the first French new media centers where she was working as artistic co-ordinator and curator of the international urban multimedia arts festivals Les Nuits savoureuses and Interferences and then as co-director of the center with Pierre Bongiovanni. From 2002 to 2004, Anne Roquigny was in charge of the general co-ordination of the preliminary project for the future Digital Arts Center in Paris, dedicated to digital production and to electronic music, at la Gaité Lyrique (http://www.la-gaite-de-paris.info/). Anne Roquigny is now developing the web performances project WJS (http://www.wj-s.org) and co-coordinates with Peter Sinclair and Jérôme Joy the Locus Sonus research laboratory (http://locusonus.org) specialized in audio art and it’s relation to space and networked audio systems.
