ΣΥΝΔΙΟΡΓΑΝΩΣΗ:
Modern art tends to defy geographic borders. During last decades that most of the issues seem to be ecumenical; artists from worldwide share common thoughts, speculations and expectations. This is more than obvious by the fact that artists participate in cultural institutions and festivals, communicating by using similar codes and adding to those organizations a truly international character. The benefits of the collaboration and interaction between the different festivals from all over the world are obvious. Each one of them is invited to play its unique role in the promotion of digital arts and culture on an international level, and through this association, to share ideas and visions, and both contribute and benefit from, towards its development.
Athens Video Art Festival in an attempt to establish a contact between the public and the academic aspect of video art and digital arts, hosts in its program important Greek and international institutions that link to video art, its history and all the extents of digital arts. Academic institutions from Greece and abroad, as well as internationally recognized organizations, are presented annually informing the public about the advancements – technological or not – from all the spectrum of digital arts. Our aim is to present the work done within these institutions and also give an additional chance to the students to promote their works. These institutions every year lap up to the call of Athens Video Art Festival and lay the basis for a creative dialogue, which we desire to establish and broaden within the upcoming festivals.
