Embrace digital Athens

Can you imagine the future? Can you identify the ways that technology and innovation affect and form the future of art and society? And what about Singularity in this future? When that notion is associated with infinity, the unknown and the beginning of universes, both physical and conceptual, then art and technology have a new meaning. This is the sort of questions that ADAF has addressed to us for years creating a space where visitors and artists exchange their own experiences and stories with regards to the influence of new technologies on our way of living, ranging from social media and digital aesthetics to virtual reality and digital sound.

It was then ready and mature to encompass a wide range of activities and performances that define «creation» and «expression» in the digital era. And that’s exactly what the 16th festival is about. With the festival theme “Technotribalism”, it seeks to promote collectivity and openness towards knowledge, art and science as fundamental pillars upon which we shall built our new data driven world. We, being the primitives of this era, appear pure and naive yet shaping the very foundations of this new world and tribe. The festival will host pieces from Video Art, Animation, VR (360 video), Performances, Web Art, Games, Digital Image, talks, workshops, ADAF Kids for Children & their Parents, and Festivals of the world. More than 5,500 art proposals from more than 100 countries around the world will be the source for the ADAF 2020 program selection.
