“In terms of art, like the way we are using it at the moment, AI, there’s a lot more to explore. And also in general, how AI is being developed, it’s just the beginning. So, in that sense, it will be interesting to see how art will work with it. I think what is important or what is one crucial point that art can bring into this discussion is an ethical and the critical perspective on what we’re doing.”

10. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Aida Salán, curator and co-director of festival:
“Last year we had a lot of visual pieces of Artificial Intelligence, but this year there are also AI art pieces that criticize the method itself of creating through AI, and what is happening with it. So it’s very interesting to see how this evolves, when a new tool starts to develop, how everyone takes advantage and uses it, and then in later years we can see the evolution through the criticism of the tool itself.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Diego Iglesias, festival director:
“For us, this very simple gesture is actually the very example, or exemplification, of a dilemma that is quite current in society right now: the complete trust in technology and in algorithms, as something that is going to make our life better or it’s going to make the world better, or the techno-utopian we would say. But also, for us it implies the dis-confidence in technology at the same time.”

18. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Lola Zoido, artist creator of “The Stone of Madness”:
“Consumption and constant contact with them (screens, technologies) can give us the feeling of not discerning what is real and what is not. What is more real: something outside that we can touch or something inside the screen that exists only on the screen, but that causes real emotions?”
19. Wide of installation of Lauren Lee McCarthy´s piece
20. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Lola Zoido, artist creator of “The Stone of Madness”:
