After the digital experience of 2020, FOTONICA, the Audio Visual Digital Arts festival that explores the art forms that have light as their central theme, is back. The name of the festival comes from light, in particular from its minimum unit: the photon, a small particle with enormous creative power.
The fifth edition of FOTONICA will be staged from November 19 to 27 in Rome, within the spaces of CityLab971 and Fusolab2.0.
FOTONICA brings works, workshops, installations and laboratories for children in peripheral areas, to establish a fuller bond with the city and strengthen values of social aggregation

Among the audio-visual works of the festival there will be the preview of “FIELD”, a performance by the Canadian artist Martin Messier, the international preview of “Il Giardino Magnetico”, a performance presented by Andrew Quinn and Luca Spagnoletti; the vj-set by Federico Nitti, visual artist who has signed projects for Aphex Twin and Terry Riley, the exclusive video-mapping “Sacred Geometry” by the Spanish collective Darklight Studio.
Another immersive work presented in Rome is “SOL.AR.IS”, curated by Photon, in which viewers will interact with 3D objects in real time.
