Reality

An Uncertain but Irresistible Revolution 
Héctor Ayuso (ES) with Carla Cascales Alimbau (ES), Xavi Cardona / Boldtron (ES), Enric Godes / Vasava (ES

ROUNDTABLE: In a technological world in which the present has eternalized and the oblivion is the security of the next innovation, what we call reality is a magma in which floats an endless number of images, data, pieces of information, flashbacks and promises of liberation. This fact requires us to find other rules, other ways of reading and new ways of looking through unexpected paths. 
A Face or a Factory: Holey Surface
Aljaž Rudolf, Eva Smrekar (SI)

A Face or a Factory is a family, a corporation and a laboratory of faces, masks and new identities. By creating new personae based on harvesting DNA material and a 3D scan of each individual seller ― who in turn is offered a seat in the company, along with a specific share of its assets― the project aims to modulate different heteronyms ―their biographies, professions and precise function― in contemporary corporative capitalism.
MoneyLab#8 | Minting a Fair Society
MoneyLab

Termination Shock (The Ends of Everythings)
Andy Gracie (UK/ES)

Termination Shock (The Ends of Everythings) is a triptych project building on parallel obsessions with cosmology and post-apocalyptic scenarios. As a reaction to current disaster rhetoric, the artist foregrounds the unavoidable and inescapable apocalypse of the absolute end. By studying the evolution of the Sun, the gravitational dynamics of our galaxies and the influence of dark matter, this project moves towards the end-of-the-Universe phenomenon known as "heat death".

Despite the widely embraced opinion that involving artists and creatives in innovation processes contributes to better results, very few research and development platforms are employing artists or art thinking in their innovation teams. Die talk's participants will discuss the challenges for artists, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs stemming from essentially non-existing collaborative/open innovations.
3D–Tour: Experience the Art Collection Deutsche Telekom in Nîmes and in Budapest
Deutsche Telekom AG, Bonn (DE)

A 3D tour of an exhibition can never convey the sensual presence and aesthetic power of its works of art. The physical presence in a real exhibition space, the complexity of looking and the experiencing the environment, cannot yet be conveyed through digital technology. Such a tour, however, can be an essential tool in documenting past events, and it serve as an additional platform for mediating content.
