Idil Akdos (NO)
How do we dispose of new materials safely? The CitiComPlastic team investigate how bioplastic waste can be safely transformed into compost. Join them to discuss how new materiality interfaces with environmental issues, and how we need to change our practices, structures, policies and perspectives to address this.
Schools and the Science of Air Pollution
Sonja Grossberndt (NO)
Together with teachers and students, the team from NILU shows us how to make low cost air quality sensors, and how to best use them to investigate air quality.
Dialogue Between Deserts
Joaquín Fargas (AR)
Two robots (Glaciator and Rabdomante) placed in two symbolic spaces ―Rabdomante in the Atacama Desert and Glaciator in Antarctica― aim to sensitize us to our human condition and our relationship with Earth Gaia. Glaciator Glaciator is a robot made in Antarctica. Made up of solar panels, it compacts and crystallizes snow, turning it into ice and then adhering it to glaciers to help them grow and regain the mass they lost as a result of thawing. Rabdomante Design and realization: Elia Gasparolo The combination of nature and technology allows Rabdomante to generate a new life cycle in the desert, drawing water from the atmosphere in the driest place in the world.

Drums Radio – 2 hours live radio session per day
Aurore Balsa (FR), Delphine Dora (FR), Ambre Dourneau (FR), Romain Gaudillière (FR), Céline Jiang (FR/CN), Pauline Mikô (BE), Nina Queissner (DE), Natalia Rivera Riffo (CL), Victor Villafagne (FR)
The DDD is a conceptual analytical system where the association of three words in D creates a tridimensional investigation space. As sound matter is a mechanic wave working in three dimensions, we assign it to a tridimensional physical space. Thereby, we want to construct a autonomous reflective space where sound projects itself.
Street Spectra – Join the Streetlights Hunting!

Acte de Fe

Act of faith (Acte de Fe) is an exploration of our relationship with technology, its similarities with the one we have with religion, the tools involved in both processes, and its impact on us and in our sacred/private space. Mise-en-scène will consist in a liturgy performed by Marc Vilajuana (voice, effects, hand drum), Adrià Grandia (acoustic and MIDI hurdy-gurdy, modular synth, laptop, aerophones), Carlos Martorell (coding, synths, motion sensors, artiphon) and a real-time reactive AI trained with religious scores.
Interdependence with Richie Hawtin: AI for humans
Holly Herndon, Matt Dryhust
