The story

Athens Digital Arts Festival in Athens

Athens's annual digital arts festival, founded in 2005 as a video art event and rebranded in 2015 to cover twelve categories from VR and games to animation and live performance, staged each spring across historic-centre landmarks and extended internationally through an online platform since 2019.

Founded in 2005 as the Athens Video Art Festival, the event spent its first decade focused narrowly on video art, installation and live performance before a 2015 rebrand to Athens Digital Arts Festival signalled a much wider scope across the full range of contemporary digital creation.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's twelve programming categories, spanning video art, animation, web art, interactive installation, games, VR/AR/XR, live performance, talks, workshops, a dedicated music strand and a children's programme, give it a scope closer to a full digital-culture survey than a single-medium exhibition

02

The mystery stays covered

Its choice to stage large-scale digital installations and projections directly onto Athens's historic-centre landmarks and archaeological surroundings, rather than inside a purpose-built exhibition venue, creates a deliberate contrast between cutting-edge technology and ancient urban fabric

03

The city starts moving

Since 2019, an online platform has extended the festival's programme to an international audience beyond Athens itself
