The participation of the Ionian University was organised and implemented by the Laboratory of Interactive Arts 'inARTS' under the direction of Associate Professor Andreas Giannakoulopoulos, President of the Department of Audiovisual Arts of the Ionian University.
The coordination of the action was undertaken by the assistant professor Angelos Floros, while the scientific supervision of the participations was undertaken by teachers of the Department of Audiovisual Arts. The final selection of the proposed works was made by a committee of the Athens Digital Arts Festival.
Works were submitted in the categories: Animation, Video Art, Documentary, Audio, Audiovisual and Interactive Installations.
Animation
Curators: Konstantinos Tiligadis, Associate Professor, Maria Krigka EEP
These animations are the result of selected work from graduate and postgraduate students of Audiovisual Department, Ionio University. Works from established artists associated with Audiovisual Department are also included. The techniques used range from stop - motion and clay animation to 3D works. Though complex and demanding, animations are a result usually of the work of one person or rarely a small team dealing with preproduction and postproduction issues. These films represent each a whole different visual world thus creating a universe of characters and atmospheres.

Videoart
Curators: Konstantinos Tiligadis, Associate Professor, Maria Krigka EEP
These video art movies are the result of selected work from graduate and postgraduate students of Audiovisual Department, Ionio University. Participation of established artists associated with Audiovisual Department is also present. Through a variety of means and editing techniques, students and artists approach casual or uncanny themes in a skeptical manner. Video art is the means to enclose conceptual art, image, sound and filming in the same condensed package.

Documentary
Curator: Maria Chalkou, Adjunct lecturer
This section is a selection of documentaries made by under- and postgraduate students of the Department of Audio & Visual Arts of Ionian University, Corfu. It includes short films shot in the context of the course “Documentary: History, Theory & Practice”, graduation theses and a postgraduation project (MA: “Audiovisual Arts in the Digital Era”). All documentaries employ, in creative ways, a wide spectrum of research and artistic methods to treat “actuality”, such as observation, interviews, archival material, reenactments, as well as essayist and poetic forms of narration.
Participants:
Spyros Kavvadias, Evgenia Pouli, Marina Satanaki, Melina Schina, Aris Melachroinos, Georgia Zabelaki, Dimitris Gkrintzos, Margarita Chalakatevaki, Konstantina Messini, Alkistis Georgiou, Eviroula Dourou, Myrto Gatsiou, Viron Dolas, Katerina Dimopoulou
Sound Art
Curator: Apostolos Loufopoulos, Assisatnt Professor
The context of these sound projections, combined with video or being sound alone, has been created utilizing audio samples, recordings, foley techniques, sound synthesis etc, which has been materialised throughout practical courses at the Ionian University.
The creation of original soundtracks often embodies the language of electroacoustic music for the design and co-existence between sound effects and musical elements, proposing a unified, musical development of sound over the image.
Participants:
Maria Stella Lemoni Theodorou, Dimitrios Agathopoulos & Bikakis Athanasios
Thanasis Epitideios, Dimitris Geliniotis, Panagiotis Tsagkaroulis, Elena Georgiadou, Michalis Constantinou, Magda Kandiliari, Alexia Simati, Vaggelis Pandis, Josef Kloos
