A central ‘Village’ houses ‘galleries’ created specifically to present the digital exhibits.

Signature elements of Art & Algorithms are its interactive, hands-on exploration focus plus award-winning art and short films from around the world, and the potential to interact with the festival’s special international guests.

Titusville, Florida is a fitting place for such a festival, with a population rich in creative and technical talent.

This is the place where men and women have ventured into space, where new technologies have been launched, accomplishing great feats and making discoveries that improve the lives of people on Earth. Exploring is at the heart of the people and the place.

An important part of Art & Algorithms is student participation, where Brevard County public and private school students have access to artists working in digital arenas.

Pablo Remonsellez, community programs coordinator for Brevard Cultural Alliance, works with the schools to offer gallery tours for groups of students and teachers and demonstrations delivered by visiting artists.

“The goal is to empower students and all people through education and to inspire the acquisition of 21st century skills in preparing students for careers,” said Remonsellez.

Special guests to Art & Algorithms in October include a group of film students from the Coventry University, UK, who will work on site to create digital new works, influenced by their experiences at Art & Algorithms.

This year’s Art & Algorithms is a free festival, thanks to the generosity of its funding partners.
