Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF) is an international cultural festival focusing on contemporary digital art forms, through an annual gathering that brings together, in downtown Athens, a diverse global community of artists and an eclectic, inquisitive audience. Athens Video Art Festival was founded in 2005 and quickly distinguished itself as a dynamic platform operating at the intersection of video art, installation art and live performance. Over the past 18 years, the festival has gradually expanded its sphere to include more categories, such as web art, animation, digital image, VR/AR, games, talks, workshops, music and the kids programme. Through its wide-ranging artistic program, ADAF seeks to showcase a refined selection of works, attuned to the multifaceted characteristics that are distinctive of the digital medium, reflecting on the specificities of its language, aesthetics and innovation. Athens Digital Arts Festival aims to encourage and promote all aspects of digital creativity by hosting local as well as international artists and communities.
