Return of the web
The web is an artistic space: to create, to show, to learn and to reflect. NFT platforms and the “metaverse” are already an integral part of the new art ecosystems. However questions remain : Do these virtual spaces present new opportunities for artists to make money with their work? What is the environmental cost of digital art and its market? And above all: How do we build robust creative and technologic ecosystems where both the artist’s practice and the environmental impact are sustainable?

Digital Surgery Aesthetics
Conversation with no filters with four artists that overflow the limits between the physical and the virtual. Regardless of the format of their choice, since all of them have a multidisciplinary profile, this generation of artists thinks in three dimensions and imagines places, landscapes, bodies and identities that only technology can make possible. With Filip Custic, María Forqué, Sevi Iko Dømochevsky, and Saúl Baeza.
Carbolytics
Through her artistic research Joana Moll investigates the materiality of the internet, its infrastructural elements and the invisible processes that have a social, economic and ecological impact that often go completely unnoticed. Her latest project called “Carbolytics” investigates the ecological footprint of advertising cookies. These pieces of data, which may seem at once threatening, annoying and even insignificant, are also energy consumers that have both an ecological and economic cost, which in the end, we the users pay.
