Santaroza Former Court (48 Stadiou & Arsaki)
Justice Square (Arsaki & Panepistimiou)
The Athens Digital Arts Festival, the first and largest international platform for digital arts in Greece, celebrates two decades of creation and digital innovation in contemporary art with a special anniversary event in two emblematic venues in the heart of Athens. From 16 to 26 May 2024, the former Santarosa Courts and Justice Square will be transformed into a vibrant stage of artistic expression and technological experimentation, hosting the 20th Athens Digital Arts Festival under the title "TECHNO(S)CENE".
ADAF 2024: TECHNO(S)CENE celebrates the rich history of digital art and the festival while focusing on the future of digital culture. Inspired by concepts such as technocene and technoscience, as well as the dynamic scene of digital culture, this year's event explores the profound impact of technology on our lives, recognizing it not just as a tool but as a pervasive force that shapes our perceptions, creative expressions and our very existence.
Artists, scientists, technologists and intellectuals from different backgrounds and communities compose a rich program of immersive experiences in a special place with a rich history: the Former Santarosa Courts in Justice Square. Where in the 19th century the explosive sounds of the work machines of the National Printing House dominated and in the 20th was a meeting point of Athenian society, it is now becoming a living hub of creativity.
At the 20th Athens Digital Arts Festival, artists redefine the boundaries of human creativity through enchanting digital landscapes that leave viewers speechless. Impressive installations, unique performances and exciting screenings, speeches and tributes form a multidimensional experience for the audience around digital culture. Whether humans, artificial intelligence or hybrids thereof, creators offer different perspectives on the transformative power of technology, sparking debate about the future of art, science and society in the age of the digital revolution.
With more than 3,000 artistic proposals from 106 countries and distinguished guests from the international art scene, the 20th Athens Digital Arts Festival promises a unique multimedia digital art experience, embodying the spirit of innovation, creativity and inclusiveness that has defined the festival for two decades.
We are waiting for you to celebrate the digital revolution on the "stage" of the 20th Athens Digital Arts Festival.
