The groundbreaking ArtFutura takes place November 5-8 at the MALBA in Buenos Aires

Call it Impressionism Meets Interactive Games … Acrylics Meet Animation … Typography Meets YouTube. Or better yet, just follow the porteños and call it ArtFutura. This incredible event, which blends art with cutting-edge ideas coming out of the worlds of new media, interactive design, video games and digital animation, returns to the MALBA for the second consecutive year. Originally debuting in Barcelona in 1990, ArtFutura continues to advance the ideas that art and science run increasingly on parallel paths and that art today is closely aligned with new media, the Internet and digital technology. Past participants include William Gibson, Theo Jansen, Toshio Iwai, Laurie Anderson and Hiroshi Ishii. The judges for this year’s event are Rodrigo Alonso, Patricia Saragüeta, and Gonzalo Fargas, Director and Editor of the popular 90+10 Magazine. Tickets are free but limited so, in the new media spirit of ArtFutura, jump on their Facebook page or visit the official site for more information. ArtFutura is one of several art, business, cultural and networking events that can be found in our new Buenos Aires Events Calendar complete with Google Weather and Google Maps for those hard to find joints in Capital Federal.
