The International Digital Arts Festival of Greece, Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF) is coming of age and returning for its 18th annual event in the centre of Athens, specifically in Kotzia Square for a five-day meeting that will take place from May 25 to 29, 2022. in the building complex formerly Notos home.

As it has already been established with great success in recent years, the Festival will be hybrid this year as well, as it will also be held online in the fall of 2022, exploring in both its versions the “FutuRetro” theme. For this year, the ADAF curatorial team has chosen to turn to science fiction and retrofuturism, as part of the science of the future, seeking to present the present through the eyes of the past, and the past through the eyes of the future.

The multi-collective program of the Festival will once again consist of its already familiar categories: video art, interactive and audio-visual installations, live performance, animation, works of virtual, augmented and mixed reality (VR/AR/XR), games, digital image, web art, creative workshops, talks, the children’s program ADAF KIDS, for the ever-restless children’s audience and of course one of the most beloved categories of the festival, which we have missed in the last two years, ADAF MUSIC.
