Alpha-ville
Alpha-ville is an audiovisual art experience that will serve as a platform to create a dialogue between arts, society and technology. Breaking the boundaries of traditional disciplines, the festival combines music, digital media, visuals and live performance in a celebration of the richness of the contemporary culture. Alpha-ville's aim is to promote artists from different creative sectors and deeper engage with the audience. It will also allow participants to experience a new range of cultural activities in an iconic urban space.
Alpha-ville is inspired by the terms 'Alpha' and 'Ville', as a representation of the origin of the cities, which is communication and society. We live today in an increasingly hyper-interconnected world where new virtual technologies create dependency and affect real social relationships. The event is also inspired by the film named 'Alphaville' (Godard, 1965) that describes a future where machines control human society and where signs of emotions are forbidden.
The art work will show how artists conceive the impact of technology in society and in human relations, with the hope of leaving a trace in the audience. This event will stand out as an alternative that stimulates communication between arts, technologies and society and will promote cultural learning through arts activity.
Alpha-ville festival is the first of a sequence that seeks to increase the accessibility of the arts to the public and improve the quality of life by donating 1% of the overall profit to a good cause. This time the festival will support ‘Save the Children', a non-profit organisation that works directly with the most marginalised children, wherever they are in the world.
