The Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF) is returning to the city for its 13th year on May 18-21 2017. The theme for this year is #PostFuture and artists will invite to show works addressing where art, culture and dialogue are headed in a post-digital world.
Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF) is an International Festival which celebrates digital culture through an annual gathering bringing together a global community of artists and audiences. Athens Digital Arts Festival aims to encourage, stimulate and promote all aspects of digital creativity by hosting local as well as international artists and communities.
Through its multidisciplinary program Athens Digital Arts Festival offers a wide range of exhibitions, screenings, live performances, workshops and international tributes showcasing artworks that display distinctive characteristics of the digital medium and reflect on its language and aesthetics.
For this 13th edition, the theme of the festival is #PostFuture. Exploring this blurry future, ADAF invites artists to ‘transcend’ digital culture and exchange opinions under the theme #PostFuture. These artists will exchange about Post digital as a new exciting phase, the entrance to an era where digital has fully integrated into society, art and media.
For this new edition, the festival presents many installations like “NOS” work from NOHlab. This audio-visual experience is generated by “NOS”, developed by Nohlab (Deniz Kader-Candaş Şişman) and Osman Koç. “NOS” analyzes the sound in real-time and uses this data in calculations for visuals, which melts sound and visuals into a single entity. Robert Lisek will present his work “Viral_C” showing how logical structures and computer processes remain in relation to biological and chemical processes. The digital artist Mathieu Le Sourd (Maotik) will come to present his monumental and interactive work “Flow”. Inspired by the natural phenomenon of tides, the multimedia environment of Maotik offers a unique, poetic, playful and aesthetic sensory experience of the rise and fall of sea level.
