About the Conference

The Digital Cultures Conference

Inaugurated in 2017, the Digital Cultures conference serves as an international platform for meetings between Polish artists and international culture managers. The programme of interdisciplinary debates and presentations is built around four main areas: computer games, immersive storytelling, digital archives and modern museum science. Through regular organisation of the Digital Cultures conference, the Institute creates opportunities for Polish projects to gain international partners, broadening the market for distribution of Polish productions and increasing the visibility of Polish digital artists abroad.
