Mind Reading Machines | Open studio with Gala Hernández López

Gala Hernández López combines filmmaking and research to produce poetic and oneiric works in which documentary elements intertwine with subtle layers of speculative fiction and an observation of the material reality of computational capitalism.

In her work, Gala examines the imaginaries and narratives circulating within the discourse of technological innovation, as well as the possible futures —the “futurabilities”— suggested by technologies presented as revolutionary. She approaches them not only in their technical nature, but also as stories infused with fiction that eventually permeate

On Sonic Agency: A Workshop with Brandon LaBelle

The 3-day workshop aims to reflect upon acoustics as a framework that, by lending to the shaping of social and spatial environments, greatly impacts onto experiences of belonging and unbelonging. Extending from Jacques Rancière’s notion of “the distribution of the sensible,” we’ll consider how communities rework “the distribution of the heard” by intervening onto a dominant acoustic. This includes reflecting upon different forms of acoustic practices, from self-organized dance clubs to silent protests conducted against economic injustices to fostering affective economies of domestic life.

What do a 17th-century automaton and a robot in an advanced logistics centre have in common?
 

The public research project El Gesto Digital by Andrea Muniáin and Paula Ramos Mollá, currently in residence at Medialab as part of the Investigación Situada 2026 programme, takes this question as its starting point to explore the historical and contemporary relationships between technology and magic — understanding the magical as an ongoing struggle between concealment and revelation throughout the history of technology.

Andrea Muniáin and Paula Ramos Mollá address these questions through the

Synthesis and (co)evolution of minimal forms of intelligence

Contemporary discourse on intelligence often revolves around complexity. We propose to take the opposite extreme: to explore intelligence in its minimal form. We draw inspiration from the field of synthetic biology, which studies the concept of life by engineering new organisms from scratch...
