Creative Coding Barcelona

In this talk, Tatiana Halbach and Søren Christensen (Desilence) share the conceptual and visual process behind Paramnèsic, a project inspired by paramnesia, where memories become distorted and the boundaries between what is lived and what is imagined begin to fade. Through constantly transforming images—mutating landscapes, forms that dissolve and recombine—they explore how the subconscious edits and reinvents experiences until they become alternative realities. The session will delve into the creative process behind the series, from the collection of dreams to the fusion of painting, movement, and memory that defines the exhibition.

ferestecs presents a weekend in nature with Andy Quitmeyer (Dinalab). A small group of artists, creators, engineers and curious explorers will come together to collectively hack technology and nature. For a few days, we’ll live, code, walk and work together in a natural environment, setting up a temporary outdoor lab.

Dr. Andrew Quitmeyer makes tools for interacting with nature. He runs a jungle makerspace to make tools for field biologists in Panama. Everything he makes he shares openly, and he founded an international conference called, The Digital Naturalism Conference, where creative people explore interesting natural environments and share projects they make. In general, he thinks people should play outside more and that our technology needs to come outside to play too.

Lecture by Mario Santamaría on his artistic processes and practice. For years, his work has focused on embodying protocols and processes of information distribution, performing actions such as physically travelling to his website by repeating the path of data; leaving an avatar falling for eternity in the sky of a Metaverse; going for drinks around the city as a Google algorithm; or creating a tour operator based on the infrastructure of the Internet.

Join Operator (Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti) for an in depth and process-focused lecture about their generative choreography method, contextualized within their history integrating advanced technologies in their experiential practice.

A session to share creative approaches and ways of giving materiality to light and sound. Moving between installation, performance, sculpture, and scenography, the talk will present technical, material, and formal solutions for generating immersive experiences where one can listen with all the senses.

Corazón de Robota brings a retro-technological and techno-manual perspective to the creation of low-cost sound artifacts built with low-tech materials, electronic waste, chocolate boxes, and recycled components. Her setup consists entirely of handmade oscillators, sequencers, drum machines, filters, and distortions that intentionally incorporate electronic errors and aberrations. The sounds produced during the performance form a chaotic organization of textures, feedback, and random patterns that evolve over time, leading the audience into a sonic trance and a journey through the rhythmic dimensions of noise. During the talk, Corazón de Robota will share insights into her sound project, presenting her DIY instruments, connections, and creative process.

An unusual journey of coding, happy mistakes, bad life decisions, and planned errors, with an uncensored lack of limitations.
