Metamorhosis – ADAF 2026 Visual Communication

How can transformation become a visual identity?

For the 22nd Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF 2026), themed META-MORPHOSIS, we approached design as a continuous process of evolution, where art, technology, and human creativity intersect.

The butterfly, a timeless symbol of transformation, became the central element of a visual language combining geometric structures, digital textures, luminous gradients, and experimental typography.
From the main festival poster and large-scale applications to printed programmes and accreditation materials, every element was conceived as part of a cohesive visual system. - Harry Macheras
For me, creative direction is not simply about defining an aesthetic. It is about translating an idea into a coherent visual experience.
META-MORPHOSIS represents another exploration of the relationship between culture, technology, and visual communication.
