From 22 to 24 May, MolinoLab (Sancti-Spíritus, Salamanca) hosts a new edition of InteractivasFest, a small festival organised between MolinoLab and the Interactivas working group of MediaLab Prado / Matadero Madrid.
What is InteractivasFest?
It is a meeting space in which art, nature and technology come together through a logic of self-management. This means that the people attending are themselves the ones who propose and facilitate the activities: workshops, performances, talks, presentations, concerts, research groups, prototypes, or whatever else may arise.
What will there be at this InteractivasFest?
This festival does not have a closed programme, but this is the plan so that we can cheerfully depart from it:

Can I propose something?
Yes, and in fact that is the spirit of the festival. You do not need to be an expert. If you know how to do something and feel like sharing it, go ahead. Examples (real or inspiring):
- A workshop on how to make a perfect Spanish omelette.
- A working group to create an analogue-digital drum kit with solenoids.
- A videomapping onto sheep.
- A talk about vegetable gardens and sensors.
- A performance with plants and climate data.
Almost anything will be welcome, so long as it respects the collaborative and non-violent spirit of the gathering.
