Adela Festival of Generative Arts
updated 2 hours ago
Adela is an international festival founded in 2023 by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory, dedicated to exploring practices emerging in the expanded field of generative arts. It considers artworks as algorithms embedded in (im)material infrastructures and observes them as emergent machines and open systems in which human and other agents participate in producing possible worlds. Besides various discussions, workshops, exhibitions and performances, Adela includes the annual Parameter Fair, dedicated to presenting and selling works that imaginatively engage generative methods, and Algorave, an evening of experimental live-coded music and visuals.

In the final period of Creative Europe (2021–2027), as the new funding programme for the cultural and creative sectors – AgoraEU – is being shaped at the European level, this is an opportune moment to reflect on the experiences, achievements, and shifts that international collaboration in European projects has brought to Slovenian organisations. The Creative Europe Ambassadors, coming from various organisations and creative sectors but united by their commitment to active engagement in the international arena, have generously shared their extensive experience and perspectives. These varied contributions highlight the specific trajectories of individual organisations while also offering deeper insights into the development of artistic practices, institutional models, and the cultural ecosystem in Slovenia.
In her contribution, Alma R.
