Creative Question Challenge: The Organ of Consciousness
Oswaldo Maciá (CO/UK), Chris Bean (IE), Emilia Leszkowicz (PL)
'Let us finish what we started'. This is how the UN introduces its first Sustainable Development Goal - to end poverty in all forms and dimensions by 2030. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their 169 targets have been described as a sprawling, misconceived mess of grandiose intentions. The title of the development agenda itself - 'Transforming our World' - oozes utopian ambition. It was adopted by 193 nations in 2015. Five years later and with ten years left, how do you think our world will transform?

DïaloG
Refik Anadol (TR/US), MoBen / CityU HK
DïaloG is an urban media art installation developed by Maurice Benayoun (MoBen/CityU HK) and Refik Anadol (AnalogNative). In the public space (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain) two “living” entities face each other. They don’t look like the living beings we know. They don’t speak any language we know. They are aliens, strangers, immigrants. Facing each other they gradually mutate. They seem to react to their environment. Even more, they clearly desperately try to understand each other.
Talk: Musical Generativities (Facilitated by H.Vinet)
IRCAM (FR)
Techniques for the automatic generation of music – which have long been focused on systems ruling the score – are now being deployed at all levels of sound representation: signal, gesture, symbol, form. Sound synthesis using deep networks constitutes a radical break with conventional modelling approaches. How do composers handle these emerging possibilities?

Transmedia Storytelling: Camilla Plastic Ocean Plan - Exhibition Opening + Guided Tour Video
Filmuniversity Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF (DE)
Exhibition Opening + Guided Tour Video - The project started at Filmuniversity Babelsberg because the worldwide media often present environmental problems in a way that makes us feel gloomy and hopeless. Consequently, people start ignoring facts. However, what about the future we want to live in? Can’t we use the expertise of storytelling in movies to design pictures of a desirable world? New things are very often created by a combination of things that have never been combined before.

Push My Buttons: Sequence All.
Hacking Numeric Keyboards Workshop on how to hack a keyboard and turn it into a step sequencer or any other conceivable controller for synthesizers.

Algorave by Toplap Barcelona (ES)
Toplap Barcelona (ES)
LIVE PARTY/ MUSIC EVENT Algoraves bring together the improvisation and the code scope of a live coding session with the languages and the rituals of the dance floor. During the live writing and reading of the code, and the unfolding of the musical improvisation, the audience dances, thinks and listens in a uniquely intertwined way, helping musicians make sense and do the real creative work in making a great party.
On Code. The Uncertainty Of Meaning And Doing
Lina Bautista (CO), Daniel Moreno Roldán (ES), Agnès Pe (ES), Ángel Faraldo (ES), Carolina Jiménez (ES), Lluís Nacenta (ES)
ROUNDTABLE: How does code interfere with the listening process? Code allows the ear to navigate the listening interface, while it happens to narrow its sensitive scope. It crosses the interface, the membrane which separates but also connects, unfolding the vibration of the air, the zone of inter/intra-action, negotiation and distribution of attention and meanings, between the (dis)orders of the emitted and the heard sounds.
Facing Uncertainty and Its Discontents
Pau Alsina (ES), Roc Parés (ES/MX), Marina Garcés (ES), Joan Soler-Adillon (ES), Tere Badia (ES), Pau Waelder (ES).
ROUNDTABLE: While we get used to dealing with those events in which the probability of a certain situation occurring is not known: what does it mean to live in a context of uncertainty? How to take the risk of uncertainty and try to slide their gains? How arts, sciences, technologies and thought have learned from it and propelled their practices of uncertainty?
