AGENCIA_RV [AGENCY_VR] is a Medialab Prado Working Group whose purpose will be to investigate Narrative Virtual Reality, known as CVR, Cinematic Virtual Reality. Its aim is to study the contents and forms of virtual reality but focusing on its narrative possibilities in the field of fiction. What we want is to create a group of researchers and creators who review the current state of the narrative associated with virtual reality and are capable of proposing and creating an experience of this type. We start from the idea that virtual reality is a new cinematographic technology, an advance in its evolution comparable to the arrival of colour, or sound. And what this group will study is its potential to transform the storytelling of cinema. The idea is to create an active research group. To this end, anyone interested, with previous experience in a field related to the creation of fiction for...

La leishmaniosis es una enfermedad que afecta principalmente al perro, de hecho en la Comunidad de Madrid existe un alto porcentaje de perros infectados. Pero además desde el segundo semestre del año 2009 se dispararon todas las alertas debido al inicio de un brote de leishmaniosis humana en la zona suroeste de la Comunidad de Madrid (principalmente en municipios de Fuenlabrada, Leganés, Getafe y Humanes de Madrid).

La captura de flebotomos mediante trampas de luz aporta información sobre la localización de sus lugares de cría. El objetivo...

BI r/evolutions - Body Intelligence and Proprioception technologies in the age of autonomous algorithms. There is a sense that few people know and yet it is perhaps the most important of all: proprioception, which is the sense of internal movement of the body, grounded on the multitude of sensors of muscular elongation of the body and giving us continuous feedback , conscious and unconscious, of relative position and speed or effort. It is the sense that integrates all external sensations (and of the internal organs) in our movement, directly connecting action and perception. It is the sense in which the most primordial notion of self and relation to the world is based. It is the deepest ground of empathy and meaning, which connects us bodily and primordially with things,it is the basis of memory and experience as a process that does not necessarily go through rationalization, and that some theorists...
