Sharing processes avoids aestheticizing collaborative practice. It consists of ten documentation spaces in which visitors can immerse themselves in 15 projects: through videos and through texts that reflect on the residencies, but as well as other materials such as objects and photographs that have been generated through the course of the projects.

Sharing processes is composed of:

• Afluents, with Seila Fernández Arconada, collectiu A + and residents of the neighborhoods adjoining the Meder river in Vic.
• Affect 2015, with Agora Collective Berlin and several artists.
• After the future

This session with the Institute for Postnatural Studies invites reclaiming and engaging the body as a medium for creating and understanding our surroundings. Together we explore the digital infrastructures that surround the city of Madrid through the body. To do so, we will travel to Robledo de Chavela, home to NASA’s Deep Space Communications Complex, a facility used for tracking and communicating with NASA spacecraft, especially interplanetary missions.

We welcome participants with various physical abilities.

Energy dreams, constructed on compulsive desires for productivity and profit, connect the landscapes of resource extraction with the technologies and spaces of everyday digital life. This session will address how destructive habits of extracting and consuming energy follow predictions that assume the inevitability of digital growth. In the face of climate catastrophe, we should question these predictions and embrace other forms of living rather than instigating society to find new technological or material fixes.

This taller is proposed as a space to honour the work of MediaLab Prado’s community of women and QTI/GNC people. Much like a map is an excuse for us to get lost, this taller is an excuse for us to come together to reflect on our own individual practices and in the exchange of our stories, find ways of being together and supporting each other.

‘Perhaps it is the struggle that gives us the resources we need to build more just worlds. These resources might include a certain willingness to cause trouble, but they also involve humour, laughter, dance, loving and eating: all the ways we have to

The workshop is an introduction to the visual literacy methods necessary for tackling the topic of visual misinformation.

On its 15th anniversary, Art Madrid has wanted to organize an intense program of activities that begins before the fair and that extends during the five days of the event to turn the month of February into a real celebration of the most current and dynamic contemporary art.

This is a workshop for artists, designers, and filmmakers interested in the present and future of attention. Attention itself—and distraction in its many variations—seems to have evolved from a condition into a currency. 

What new tactics and strategies can be worked on to handle storytelling’s dependencies on undivided attention across media, objects, and situations? What new kinds of narrative objects will come into being in a post-screen interpretation of artists’ and alternative cinema? This workshop will be about improvised answers to such questions. No answer is final and every step
