Ready for Eufònic PRO 2024!

The professional meeting of the festival, Eufònic Pro – Terres de l’Ebre will be held on July 11 and 12 at the Escola d’Art i Cultura in Tortosa. Eufònic Pro becomes a space that invites professionals, programmers, curators and cultural managers to connect with creators and artists. Two days to share experiences and knowledge. THE REGISTRATIONS DEADLINE is next July 2.

With Antònia Folguera (Sónar +D) and Marta Oliveres (El Álamo) as curators, there’s a dialogue between the digital and the performative facts, the links within art and science, the sound exploration, the relationship with science and biology, body research, digital performativity and the intersection between disciplines with a clear innovative component.

CONTEMPORARY CREATION PROJECTS, CURATORS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS MANAGERS

We will get to know national and international festivals and facilities with the managers of organizations such as the Museum of Art in Kochi, Japan; Transmediale from Germany; FOLDA festival from Canada; Museo Serralves from Portugal; Arts at CERN from Switzerland; Chroniques from France; P3 Vitrina and the IF festival in Barcelona; or L’Ull Nu festival from Andorra, among others. We aim to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and networking (with coffee or vermouth, depending on the hour). Here we go!

PRESENTATIONS OF ART PROJECTS BETWEEN SCIENCE AND ART

Anna Rierola will share with us “The garden of delights”, the installation that she’ll present in La Lira (Amposta) this year; Thalastasi guys will talk about science and creation, data and algorithms; we’ll find out why Lauren Moffat is working with bats; Hamill Industries will tell us about the experience of their work with Floating Points; Gerard Valls Montaño will explain the piece that will be in our virtual space; Citlali Hernández will present the installation she has created in collaboration with Núria Nia; and the technologists and artists María Castellanos and Alberto Valverde, who will have spent 15 days in residence in the Delta researching plants, will explain to us their experience.

DISCUSSION AREA AND PANELS

We will also talk, with Antònia FolgueraLorena JuanAdrienne Wong and Mathieu Vabre, about what it means, in a world where technology and art are constantly merging, to curate digital arts in multidisciplinary festivals; museology in the 21st century will be discussed, how it works the relationship with technology in art in facilities that situate between the old concept of “museum” and much more pro-active roles, in the style of “Kunsthalle”; and, with Marta OliveresMarc Villanueva and Thomas Duret from Baobab, we will talk about the dynamics of gaming in creation, how it revolutionizes the performing arts and how it can be related to other disciplines.

LASERS AND MUSIC ON THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE EBRE OBSERVATORIUM
