Estampa

Estampa is a group of programmers, designers, filmmakers and researchers who work in the fields of experimental audio-visual and digital environments. Its practice is based on a critical and archaeological approach to audio-visual technologies, in search of the tools and ideologies of artificial intelligence and experimental animation resources.

Its recent projects include the following installations: Host Images (2022, for Tabakalera Donosti), Dark Chambers of Ideology (2022, Ars Electronica – Hangar), Martian Species (2021, for the Mart. The Red Mirror, Contemporary Culture Centre of Barcelona (CCCB in its Catalan acronym) exhibition, curated by Juan Insúa), Auspices (2019, Unzip and the Banco Sabadell Contemporary Art Collection) or the Smile! You Are Out of Camera (GetxoPhoto 2020, curated by Jon Uriarte), the artistic research project The Bad Pupil. Critical pedagogy for artificial intelligences (2017-2018, BCN production - La Capella), the Deep Blue Rhapsody performance (2019, Kosmopolis and the Lletra Award), the exhibition BCN 1965-1975. A look through artificial intelligence (Barcelona Institute of Culture - ICUB in its Catalan acronym, Montjuïc Castle), the series of actions Content aware initiated in DONE4 (2020, FotoColectania) and updated for the Antibiography exhibition  (2022, Maristany Art Centre, curated by Alexandra Laudo), experimental video pieces such as NSFW (2018, included in the Hamaca catalogue) as well as various video-essays (such as What do you see, YOLO9000? and Vomitorium for the CCCB’s Soy Cámera channel).
