Lima's Miraflores district will host NOVTEC, the Festival of Digital Art and Culture, from 13 to 21 November 2026 at the Alianza Francesa de Lima. The programme is built around Entre Líneas and places cinema, performance, immersive art and sound alongside the district's established visitor sites.
NOVTEC brings digital arts to Miraflores from 13 November
Alianza Francesa de Lima organises the festival with support from the Embassy of France in Peru, the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and Toulouse Lautrec. The tenth edition is an adaptation of Novembre Numérique, an international initiative of the Institut français. The organiser describes a nine-day programme spanning cinema, stage work, digital creation, immersive experiences and sound exploration.
The official NOVTEC programme and dates include the interactive dance work MYSELVES by the French company K. Danse, and BABEL by ENTER.black with Peruvian artist Chaska Paucar. Other listed projects include Creatividad Artificial, which examines artificial intelligence and creative work, and FRAGUA, which explores links between art, nature and ecology.
The schedule also includes the sound installation Escuchar a la tierra, the listening programme Radio Paralela, film screenings and workshops. Immersive projects include Wood Wide Web by Béatrice Lartigue and Lab212, as well as virtual reality works by Jérémy Griffaud and François Vautier. A videomapping work by Isabel Rojas Colchado marks the festival's tenth year.
Miraflores gives the festival a coastal urban setting
The main address is Av. Arequipa 4595, where the Alianza Francesa brings together theatre, cinema, a mediatheque, listening spaces and a patio. Several programme entries name the Miraflores venue directly, including MYSELVES on 17 and 18 November, BABEL on 21 November and the videomapping installation from 14 to 21 November.
That concentration makes the festival distinct from a city-wide cultural listing. Its digital themes occupy rooms within a district that the municipal tourism office lists among Lima's main visitor areas. The same official page identifies the Central Park, the boardwalks, the Pucllana Site Museum, Parque del Amor, Larcomar and the beaches as attractions in the district.
For travellers, the connection is practical as well as thematic. A visit to NOVTEC can be combined with the Pacific-facing boardwalk or Parque del Amor, while Huaca Pucllana provides an archaeological counterpoint to the festival's focus on artificial environments and digital networks. The district's cultural offer therefore extends beyond the event venue without requiring a second Lima neighbourhood.
What the 2026 programme offers visitors
The programme covers both scheduled performances and installations that remain available across several festival days. MYSELVES places a dancer and a digital double together on stage, while BABEL uses live music, images and audiovisual devices to explore communication and cultural difference.
Other activities address listening and participation. Radio Paralela includes sessions linked to electronic music and recordings from the Peruvian jungle, while Escuchar a la tierra presents a sound landscape connected with the project Hiato en el tiempo. The programme also lists Live Coding and Glitch Lab workshops for younger participants, with prior registration specified for those activities.
