OLEA. Digital-bio codifications
Soliman López (ES)
The OLEA project proposes a space for reflection and the rapprochement of species, concepts, economies, societies and information flows converging in a single fluid: olive oil. Historically related to deities, abundance, health, softness and liquid gold, olive oil is the perfect place to embrace other natures.

Estampa (ES), Andy Gracie (UK/ES), Óscar Martín a.k.a noish (ES), Esther Rodríguez-Barbero (ES), Anaisa Franco (BR), Antoni Abad (ES), Stefan Tiefengraber (AT)
Through a series of dialogues between artists, scientists, technologists, thinkers and activists in the space of the Canòdrom, we want to share experiences and reflections on the themes, processes and methodologies used in the framework of the artistic research-production residency program developed jointly with Hac Te, Barcelona's art, science and technology hub, and some of its partners, such as the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, the Institute of Photonic Sciences or the centers attached to the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology.
Ars Electronica Garden Barcelona Exhibition Program
Estampa (ES), Andy Gracie (UK/ES), Óscar Martín a.k.a noish (ES), Esther Rodríguez-Barbero (ES), Anaisa Franco (BR), Stefan Tiefengraber (AT), Antoni Abad (ES)
This exhibition program is articulated around a long-term sedimentation process that emerges from the transdisciplinary collaboration between different institutions (art production centers, the university, scientific and technological centers, citizen lab center), that has led to the awarding of six scholarships for artistic research-production through an open call and a collective selection process.
Ban Nong Tao Garden
Ban Nong Tao, Lazy Man Coffee, Invisible Flock, Jennifer Katanyoutanant, Siwakorn Odochao , Land Body Ecologies
The Ban Nong Tao Garden presents Walk Like a Bee, a living documentary that merges the science of rotational farming with Pgak’yau folk wisdom to share multiple perspectives around fire forests and spiritual connection. Viewers connect with Northern Thailand’s ecosystem by encountering the same granular decisions that indigenous communities consider when safeguarding their forest homes against the backdrop of colonial conservation policies.
Limits of the material, Sustainable and/or high-tech
Lea Schmidt (CH), Jessica Bulling (DE), Bettina Weber (DE), Dr. Marc Mosch (DE)
During this event, we will give an insight into the current state of the various research fields, showing how material can also be digitalized and brought into a library. We are also going to work and talk directly with all visitors. An essential aspect is the question of the acceptance of alternative materials in everyday life as well as in professional contexts.
Multimodal Perception in Human-Machine Interaction
Prof. Dr. Frank Fitzek (DE), Dr. rer. nat. Annika Dix (DE), Dipl.-Ing. Emese Papp B.A. (HU)
The workshop will open with two keynotes on 6G technology and augmented multisensory perception. The main body includes hands-on experiments and a follow-up discussion on novel multisensory technologies and future applications.
From Digital Pianists to Democratizing Skills
Prof. Dr. Frank Fitzek (DE), Dr. Luca Oppici (IT), Prof. Ph.D. Shu-Chen Li (DE /TW), Dipl.-Ing. Lisa-Marie Lüneburg (DE)
The next generation internet will enable new forms of digitized communication between humans and machines, which has the great potential to change the way we teach and learn new skills. Taking the example of piano playing, we show first insights in our ongoing research at the Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI).
