Cambios en "EinESS e inteligencia artificial. Cultura digital creada desde la ESS"

Are you involved in the cultural sector? Do you find joy in attending theaters, concerts, or exhibitions? Do you believe that cultural creation can become more democratic, sustainable, and ethical?

The EinESS cycle showcases projects, platforms, methodologies, and technologies related to open and free digital culture that hold significant value for cultural environments within the realm of the social and solidarity economy. Our objective is to champion and spread technologies, services, methodologies, and best practices within cultural ecosystems and social sectors.

In this session, we will embark on a journey through digital culture and artificial intelligence through conversations with experts in the local digital culture scene, with an exciting surprise conclusion.

Esther Dow

Esther Dow is an experimental musician and instrument designer with a long history of live performances rooted in the underground scene of improvised music in Barcelona. She draws inspiration from the sonic landscape and durability of early grindcore (Napalm Death) and noise (MSBR, KK-Null, The Incapacitants).

In addition to her performances, she is a dedicated event organizer and promoter within the local scene. She has collaborated on various film productions, installations, and performances.
