DA FEST 8 opening on 26 October 2021
The eighth edition of the International Digital Art Festival DA Fest will take place from 26th to 30th October 2021 in Sofia.
Organisers: National Academy of Art & DA Lab Foundation
Curators: Venelin Shurelov & Galina Dimitrova-Dimova
The festival programme brings together both prominent artists from the international art scene and young artists. Many of the international participants are coming to Bulgaria for the first time, which gives the audience a unique chance to see their art. The events include exhibitions; audio-visual, theatre and dance performances; video art screenings; lectures and presentations; creative workshops; concerts that showcase the diverse research and artistic practices in the field of digital arts.
DA FEST 8 selection includes over 30 artists from different countries and disciplines, including Maurice Benayoun (France/Hong Kong), Jochem Hendricks (Germany), Andreas Müller-Pole (Germany), Ken Rinaldo (USA), Ana Petrovic (Croatia), Carlo Zanni (Italy), Nico Angiuli (Italy), Klaus Obermaier (Austria) and the duo Var & Mar (Estonia). Among the participants are young Bulgarian artists Aksiniya Peicheva, Vladislav Iliev (Phormatik), Marina Genova, Veronika Tabakova and Yana Melamed, Ivelina Ivanova and Martin Lukanov, whose projects presented in the festival were produced earlier this year by DA Lab Foundation within the project "e-valuation".
