Why a digital art conference

In Sorrento?

“Looking at Naples from Sorrento gives you a special point of view, where the past meets the future.”

Naples has always been a cultural hub, home to artists, musicians, and creators who shaped Italian art history.

That’s where the idea for the festival comes from. We want to give Naples a new frame, one made of culture and digital art, seen from the most poetic spot possible. It’s a mix of tradition and innovation, with the Gulf as the backdrop and creativity as the common language.

The vision behind SODA Festival

  • Mission

    SODA was created to bring the global digital art community to Southern Italy, and to open a conversation about its future.

    Sorrento is the heart of the festival's identity. Between sea and cliffs, it embodies the tension of tradition and transformation in digital art.

  • Brand story

    When we started shaping SODA’s identity, we knew it had to feel like Sorrento. Not just in name, but in spirit.

    We sought something that reflected the city's history and beauty. We found it in traditional Sorrentine wood intarsio, a centuries-old art of geometric pieces, creating mathematical patterns.

Plan your trip to SODA

Getting there is very simple. Sorrento Digital Art Festival takes place at the historic Teatro Tasso, located in the heart of Sorrento’s old town.
