2024 Rome

FOTONICA
Audio Visual Digital Art Festival
VIII edition

From December 13th to 21st, Rome comes alive with the eighth edition of Fotonica, the festival returning to the capital with two exceptional venues: the Hungarian Academy and the captivating Chromosphere Dome, an immersive dome offering a unique program.

Each day until 5 p.m., the Chromosphere Dome features activities dedicated to children, while in the afternoon and evening, important works by international artists, stunning videomapping displays on the dome’s exterior, and engaging audiovisual performances light up the opening and closing weekends.

With high-impact visual and sensory installations, audio-video performances, live AV shows, workshops for adults and children, artistic residencies, and symposiums, Fotonica creates an immersive experience celebrating digital art and audiovisual experimentation.

Fotonica celebrates the photon, the smallest and brightest luminous fragment in the universe, a very small particle with an enormous and multifaceted creative power capable of giving rise to every form of light. A unique event in the panorama of Audio Visual Digital Arts, which investigates all those art forms in which the element of light is central, presenting for years the best experiences in the international field and contributing to the creation of a network that brings together the most important players in the sector.
