Digital culture festival ArtFutura comes to Palma's Es Baluard museum for four days of analysis of our relationship with digital technologies.

The audiovisual festival begins tomorrow (7th November) and offers two audiovisual exhibitions, an audiovisual documentary and activities for schools. Entrance to the festival is free but there is limited capacity.

This years festival carries the caption 'La Nostra Cultura es Digital' which translates to 'Our Culture is Digital'. The exhibition is designed to demonstrate how technology has been incorporated into our society and traditions. This started with the digital revolution which began to change in the 90s making technology an integral part of our daily lives.

The audiovisual documentary that will be premiered at the exhibition was created by Unitat LADAT d'Animacio i Audiovisuals Technologies from the University of Illes Balears (UIB) and will be shown on Thursday at 8.30pm. There will also be a discussion afterwards.

The main audiovisual exhibition consists of eight hours of high impact footage showing eight different films. The exhibition runs from the 7th-11th November 2012 and opens at 12.00pm each day. Audiovisual films will be shown between 4pm-8pm.
