August 05 to 31, 2008

FILE 2008 Electronic Language International Festival happens this year at the Fiesp Cultural Center, on August 05 to 31 (August 4th - Official opening for guests), Tuesday to Saturday 10 am-8 pm, Monday 11 am-8 pm, and Sunday 10 am-7 pm. The program occupies the Cultural Center's Art Gallery, Theater and Mezzanine, which host the exhibition, performances and lectures. FILE, the major art and technology festival in Brazil and Latin America, as well as one of the most renowned events in the world in this area, for nine years has inserted the country in the global context of art and technology, or media art, performing a compilation of the artistic productions in the fields of electronic and digital arts, and working as an indicator of those productions' plurality. Given the diversity of digital culture, FILE is an event that nests several festivals, which occur simultaneously. Moreover, FILE offers an international symposium, an archive with more than 2,000 works and a laboratory for the production and development of new works, FILE Labo. FILE is an annual event that in 2008 has happened, with other versions, in Porto Alegre, at Santander Cultural, and in Rio de Janeiro, at Oi Futuro. This ninth edition of FILE includes around 300 artists - among groups, collectives and individual works - from more than 30 nationalities, with works in different areas of the digital culture.
