The International Art Digital Festival will be realized in 2007 in Rosario for the 3rd time since 2003, intending to create a space for the interaction and interchange between students and professionals of digital art, design, video, photography, music and every practice related to experimental practice, such as VJ, DJ, audio-visual productions and live performances from Argentina and abroad.

For the 2007 festival a theme was chosen which is dealing with the protection of the natural environment. Artists are encouraged to submit works related to this subject, however it is not mandatory.

The Festival invites special guests: in 2003 it was ORLAN, the famous French contemporary artist, and the Argentine group around Vera Baxter.
In 2006, the 2nd festival, the special guest were the Canadian experimenatl media artist Nancy Nisbet and German media artist and New Media curator Wilfried Agricola de Cologne from Germany.
