Adela International Festival of Generative Arts
updated 5 hours ago
Adela is an international festival founded in 2023 by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory and dedicated to the exploration of the practices arising 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 engage in the production of possible worlds. Through this perspective, it aims to establish transformative practices and aesthetics to counter the dominant techno-cultural currents. The festival features various discussions and workshops, as well as the Parameter Fair, dedicated to presenting and selling works that imaginatively engage generative methods, and Algorave, an evening of experimental live-coded music and visuals.
