AI and digital arts events in Buenos Aires

Overview

Buenos Aires is set to host several audiovisual and creative events centered on artificial intelligence and digital arts in late 2026.

In late September, registration opened for the AI Creative Challenge Buenos Aires. Organized by El Círculo de Creatividad Argentina with support from Google and The One Club for Creativity, the competition uses an esports-inspired elimination format. Participants must use generative AI tools to complete a secret brief within 10 minutes. The winner will advance to a global final in New York.

Following this, the city will host the 12th Bitbang International Animation Festival from October 27 to 31. Concurrently, the first WAIFF Buenos Aires festival will take place on October 30 as part of TecWeek 2026. This festival, organized by the Ministry of Economic Development, focuses on the intersection of cinema and AI, featuring a competition where selected works can enter the ‘Road to Cannes’ circuit.
