Canòdrom is one of the main venues on the festival Art Nou, holding an exhibition of Virtual Reality. Art Nou is the emerging art festival in Barcelona and Hospitalet that offers young national and international creators the opportunity to establish their first professional relationship with the art market, galleries, self-managed spaces, and institutions dedicated to emerging art. The festival commits one more year to stimulate young production, reclaim the galleries as spaces for meeting and debate, and put art agents and the public in contact.
Tornar-se. A virtual sensitive experience
In general we live in an automatic way, dissociating ourselves from the present, from what we feel and from the body. We are not aware of how sight and sound affect us to the point of evoking a sensation, feeling or emotion that can be pleasant or unpleasant depending on the emotional baggage that each person has. This exhibition is an invitation to become aware of our present and to learn how the brain works in the face of different stimuli.

SIMULATIONS. A virtual experience on the climate change
[Simulations] raises the idea that the disasters caused during the Anthropocene epoch, along with the rapid growth of the technology industry and the inaction of world governments to address the environmental crisis, have degenerated into a death of nature, in favor of an expanding virtualization of the world. The exhibition encourages visitors to enter the virtual space to face some of the future challenges of the 21st century, in an attempt to materialize -through digitalization- an ignored, but still possible, future.
Artists: Paul Lakos Marta Ciołkowska Denise Thiemke Anna Gayete
These exhibitions have been comissionated as part of the Master in Digital Art Curating of the ESDi School of Design (URL), and showcased in Festival ART NOU in collaboration with Canòdrom. SIMULACROS has been created in residence in ESPRONCEDA.
