BotCamp 2026: technology, territory and four days of shared practice
From July 2 to 5, Tivissa hosts a new edition of BotCamp, Eufònic’s programme connecting digital arts and rural context through coexistence, experimentation and process-based work
BotCamp is a kind of festival within the festival: four days in Tivissa where digital creation steps outside its usual circuits and moves into a rural setting to work from there, in contact with the landscape, the village and its ways of life. It’s not just a programme of activities or a training space. It’s a gathering that brings together performances, installations, live actions and an intensive lab to think and create through code, sound, algorithms and generative art.
A public programme spread across Tivissa
Curated by Irma Vilà, BotCamp 2026 unfolds across different locations in Tivissa with a programme of music, live coding, installations and site-responsive actions developed in dialogue with the surrounding environment.
The programme features Natt Stråkar Punkter Ensemble in collaboration with local musicians, a live coding performance by Maia Francisco and Tim Cowlishaw, a AB performance by Anna Xambó at Els Rentadors generated from the landscape of the Serra de Llaberia, a participatory mural by digital artist Anna Carreras, a mapping project by Lorena Solé – in collaboration with EbreLumen Talent festival- projected onto an ivy-covered wall, and installations by The Generative Art Museum, Taller Estampa and the col·lectiu Axolot.
Rather than bringing technology to a small village, BotCamp asks a different question: what happens when the context itself becomes part of the creative process?
The core of BotCamp: BotCampLab
At the centre of the programme is BotCampLab, Eufònic’s “digital camp”. A space for coexistence and experimentation where artists, programmers and creators share four days of intensive work with a clear premise: the focus is not the outcome, but the process.
The Lab is supported by Alba G. Corral, Antònia Folguera, Lina Bautista and Marta Verde, who take part as mentors, contributing tools, insight and experience to the development of the projects. It brings together participants working with generative art, bots, live coding and algorithmic practices, in dialogue with the territory and through a collective, open and evolving working dynamic.
This edition will also feature two opening talks by creative technologist Lu Wilson and artist-developer Ted Davis, who will complement their participation with two practical workshops. The programme also includes a hands-on session led by Timo Hoogland on how to prepare for a live coding Jam, such as the one taking place on Saturday night.
Open call
Applications for BotCampLab 2026 are now open to people working in programming, digital creation and experimental practices, as well as anyone interested in exploring the intersections between technology, art and context.
BotCamp continues to grow as a unique space within Eufònic: a place where digital practice is not isolated, but shaped by the landscape, collective living and shared time.
