Generative Dialogues IV: Layered Times
For its edition at BotCamp, Generative Dialogues moves into a context where time is not perceived as a line, but as an accumulation of layers. The installation takes place at the Hospital de Tivissa, a building constructed upon a complex architectural memory that spans the medieval period, the 18th and 19th centuries, and the 20th century.
The Generative Art Museum at Sónar+D 2026
In 2026, The Generative Art Museum expands its presence at Sónar and Sónar+D through a constellation of projects that connect creative coding, live performance, robotics, and public engagement with generative art. Across talks, performances and interactive exhibition formats, TGAM’s participation highlights a simple but powerful idea: code is not only a tool for making images or systems, but a living artistic medium shaped by bodies, communities, machines and audiences.
Creative Coding Barcelona with Axolot presents "Function undefined"
In this talk, Axolot explained what motivated them to think about, experiment with, play with, or hack the various technologies they used as an artistic collective. They shared some projects in which concepts such as small data, embodiment, and collective practice served as critical tools in engaging with alternative and autonomous forms of technologically driven artistic production.
Creative Coding Barcelona with Myriam Bleau presents "My instruments are learning me back"

In the talk examined her approach towards audiovisual performances, custom gestural interfaces, multidisciplinarity, and horizontal collaborations.

Creative Coding Barcelona with Desilence presents: "Paramnèsic: Memory as Fiction"
The Generative Art Museum presented a new edition of Creative Coding Barcelona in collaboration with Load Gallery featuring Desilence, the duo formed by Tatiana Halbach and Søren Christensen, who shared the conceptual and visual process behind Paramnèsic, a project inspired by paramnesia, where memories became distorted and the boundaries between what is lived and what is imagined began to fade. Through constantly transforming images, including mutating landscapes and forms that dissolved and recombined, they explored how the subconscious edited and reinvented experiences until they became alternative realities. The session delved into the creative process behind the series, from the collection of dreams to the fusion of painting, movement, and memory that defined the exhibition.

Creative Coding Barcelona with Mario Santamaria presents "Trained Shadows"
The Generative Art Museum presented a new edition of Creative Coding Barcelona featuring Mario Santamaría, who shared his artistic processes and practice.

meltdown: una investigació artística sobre computació espacial, identitat i experiències immersives
En els darrers anys, el terme immersiu s’ha utilitzat de manera tan àmplia que sovint ha perdut part del seu significat. Moltes experiències s’etiqueten com a immersives simplement per utilitzar projeccions o dispositius de realitat virtual. El projecte Meltdown parteix precisament d’aquesta situació per proposar una aproximació diferent: entendre la immersió com una construcció artística i perceptiva, on la tecnologia no determina el relat, sinó que es posa al servei d’una experiència coherent i significativa.

Bootleg Gallery: A review from Art Blocks Marfa Weekend 2025
Marfa is a town where art and landscape have long negotiated with each other. During Art Blocks Weekend, that negotiation becomes even more complex. Screens appear beside desert light. Blockchain histories meet ranch roads. Conversations about code, preservation, markets, authorship, and community move between galleries, backyards, hotel lobbies, and late-night gatherings. In that setting, the Bootleg Gallery felt less like an exhibition booth and more like a small act of curatorial mischief featuring a silver pickup truck parked in an alley next to The Brite Building and a lot of generative art.
Creative Coding Barcelona with Constanza Piña (Corazón de Robota)

Live coding: the art of sharing
Live coding is like performing magic with code in front of an audience. Instead of playing a guitar or pressing buttons, live coders write algorithms in real time that transform into music or visuals. Everything is projected onto a big screen, so everyone can see how the code is being “cooked” and how the creative process unfolds live, without filters or hidden tricks.
