7 September, 20:30 

French Institute Rooftop

Admission free upon registration.

The French Institute of Greece and the Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF), before presenting their synergy in the context of the Digital November and the Extending Reality exhibition, will meet with the public on September 7, on the renovated roof of the French Institute, with an original selection of French works from the Festival’s archive.

The ADAF artistic team proposes a retrospective of art, avant-garde and animated films that have marked the festival over the years.

Drawing material from the digital archive of the Athens Digital Arts Festival, which through its course has recorded the transition of our time from analog to digital, the works build original communication symbols. In addition to its digital form, with the search and processing of programming code and software, key issues of the time are raised.
