About ArtFutura
Since January 1990, the festival of Digital Culture and Creativity ArtFutura explores the most important projects and ideas arising in the international panorama of new media, virtual reality, interaction design and digital animation in cities such as Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Ibiza, London, Madrid, Montevideo, Paris, Rome and many others.
For its part, its GaleriaFutura division promotes the most expository aspects of this new digital creativity. Among the projects carried out throughout its trajectory, the exhibition "MáquinasyAlmas" at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, with more than 450,000 visitors, stands out. And, more recently, "Creature Digitali", exhibited in Rome.
Throughout these years ArtFutura has tried to show that, at the beginning of the new millennium, art and science run parallel paths. Always highlighting the most human aspects of these new technologies. And that creativity finds in digital technology an extraordinary ally.
