*/ 21th Athens Digital Arts Festival “Simulacra” | Call for Entries ⚡

The most pioneering international digital arts festival in Greece, Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF), proudly announces its 21st edition and invites visionary artists, thinkers, technologists, and innovators to join us in shaping the future of digital art. Mark your calendars for 2025, as ADAF returns with a powerful new theme: Simulacra. We are calling for cutting-edge proposals to be submitted by December 15th, 2024, at 2025.adaf.gr.

Simulacra explores the compelling intersection of reality and hyperreality in the digital age. As technology like AI and ChatGPT redefines our world, ADAF 2025 challenges creators to reimagine how we engage with and interpret this dynamic, and often surreal, reality.

How do we navigate a world where the lines between the authentic and the artificial, blur? 

How do digital constructs shape our collective consciousness, social identities, and future landscapes?

ADAF Simulacra will be a transformative exploration of these questions, celebrating the power of digital art to re-envision the boundaries of reality. From the immersive to the uncanny, we invite creators to delve into the realms of hyperreality, virtual worlds, and synthetic experiences.

Are you ready to question the essence of originality, challenge perceptions of authenticity, and explore the symbiosis between technology and ecology in shaping a sustainable future?

This is your chance to be part of a bold and immersive artistic dialogue that spans 12 categories:

Video Art, Animation, Installations, Performances, Music, AR/VR/XR, Workshops, Talks, Web Art, Digital Image, Games, and ADAF Kids.

Let’s explore how art can reflect not only the world we live in but  also envision the worlds we have the power to create

Join us in this milestone event as we dive deep into the Simulacra, where art and technology converge to reshape our present and reimagine the future.

Submit your proposals now and be a part of the 21st ADAF experience!
