AI at whose service? We build cooperative alternatives

Second working day

AI is everywhere. In our projects, in the day to day, in the tools we use. As cooperatives and cultural projects, we are using these technologies... But are we wondering why and for whom?

In this second session we will delve into some of the challenges posed by cooperativism and for the field of work by the incorporation of artificial intelligence technologies, and what strategies we can collectively adopt to address them in a way consistent with our principles.

👉 Program pending closure!

Whose AI? Building cooperative alternatives

AI is everywhere. In our projects, in our daily lives, in the tools we use. As cooperatives and cultural projects, we're using these technologies... but are we asking ourselves what for and for whom?

This meeting is about sharing experiences, doubts and reflections: How do we use (or not use) AI? Does it make our work easier or does it complicate our lives? Are we building alternatives consistent with our cooperative values?

Political Participation of Generation Z in Spain: Gaps, Transformations, and New Forms of Engagement

This lab explores how young people from Generation Z participate in current democratic processes and what barriers and opportunities they perceive.

Presentation of Nostalgia de futuro: the book

Nostalgia de futuro is not just a book. It is a crack in time, a vibration that precedes the homonymous exhibition opening at La Capella on October 23.

This event is its first public manifestation: the presentation of an interactive book that imagines possible futures from worlds already resonating in the present. Through narratives interwoven with speculative science fiction, technopoetic critique, and living archives, the book offers a journey through realities where water remembers, bacteria converse, and sound weaves memory.
