Universidad Carlos III de Madrid · 17, 18 and 19 October · Salamanca
MolinoLab opens its doors again for a new edition of the art and technology gatherings with students from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). A weekend of creative immersion in which art, science and nature meet in an inspiring rural setting.
Workshops for listening to the invisible
Over three days we will explore the poetic and sensory possibilities of biological data. Through biodata devices, we will learn to read the electrical signals of plants and fungi, to process them and to transform them into audiovisual experiences.
Each group will develop a collaborative sound piece, a composition created from the plant life of the surroundings themselves. The resulting works will be shown in different natural spaces and will also be shared on the MolinoLab website and in the Sinfonía Biótica project.
Living technology and experimental art
The workshop will be facilitated by Fernando Fernández (@b1tdreamer) and Joaquín Díaz Sotavento, creators of biointeractive devices that capture the electrical communication between organisms.
Fernando will also present Sinfonía Biótica, a virtual reality experience that turns biological data into an immersive sound landscape. Participants will be able to get to know the prototypes and processes behind this innovative work.
A gathering beyond the classroom
More than a workshop, these gatherings propose a situated experience: a chance to connect with a rural setting, to learn from the land and from other forms of natural intelligence, and to rethink the relationship between technology and territory.
MolinoLab, a former livestock estate turned into a space for art, agroecology and culture, has established itself as a reference for interdisciplinary experimentation outside the urban sphere. Its water mill —converted into a Museum of Traditional Agriculture by Valeriano Sánchez Torres— remains a meeting point between past and future, tradition and innovation.
