APO33 is a not-for-profit association/artists collective founded by Julien Ottavi in 1996.

APO33 research practices cross philosophy, poetry, visual, sonic art and anything else that may arrive through collaborative working. APO33 operates across networked and physical spaces and develops tools (hardware/software) for creative projects and the wider FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) community of artists and programmers.

APO33, as an interdisciplinary laboratory drawing on the artistic and technological fields, fosters various collective projects associating research, experimentation and social intervention.

La Plateforme Intermédia

Apo33 produces and hosts various events from experimental music evenings, exhibitions, conferences, New-media meetings, festivals etc…

The Fabrique, Iles de Nantes is at the center of Cultural Exploration and Tourism, this melting pot of activity brings with it large audiences both seeking to discover new experiences and those who stumble upon the work of APO33/La Plateforme Intermedia. When the public is confronted by new and experimental art it can become a catalyst for lively and thought provoking discussion for both artist(s) and the audience. These events are seen as an important space to create dialog and futher the debates surrounding issues in contemporary art and sound. After one year, APO33/La Plateforme Intermedia is fast becoming an invaluable testbed for artists and associations working at the cutting edge of arts, culture and technology.

La Plateforme Intermedia in numbers during 2011-2012 - 120 Invited artists (local and international) and over 10000 visitors in less than a year.
