It started its activities in 2002 in Dakar. In 2003, with the participation of the Daniel Langlois Canadian Foundation for Art, Science and New Technologies, the association opened a digital public space, with the aim of offering activities other than simple consumption – fascination of Internet, disseminated by the many cybers that exist in Senegal. It is a place of research, residence, creation and training.
