8M Canòdrom Day: The body that resists is the body that refuses to be mapped

For the sixth consecutive year, the Canòdrom celebrates 8M with a day dedicated to women and non-binary identities in the world of music and technology. We are living in a paradox. While artists and creators fight for visibility on platforms and in the music industry, Artificial Intelligence has already seen, learned from, and cloned them all. Spotify knows us better than we know ourselves, facial recognition maps us on the street as if we were a barcode, and algorithms decide who deserves to be heard.

Gathering of The Thing Network Catalunya community and 8th anniversary of femProcomuns

The Thing Network Catalunya community, IoT-Barcelona, and femProcomuns’ XOIC jointly organise a meeting to share experiences and knowledge about the Internet of Things. If you are working on a project, just starting to “play” with it, or simply want to stay up to date with what is being done, come and share it.

Guided tour of the Canòdrom

Come and discover the Canòdrom: a building that was originally a greyhound racing track in the 1960s and today is an Athenaeum of Digital and Democratic Innovation. We will tour its spaces while sharing its history, from greyhound races to discussions about artificial intelligence, and how it has transformed into a meeting point for rethinking technology.

Guided Tour of the Canòdrom

We will walk together through the Canòdrom, an emblematic building of modern architecture that now serves as the Ateneu of Digital and Democratic Innovation. We’ll talk about its past as a leisure space and its present role, focusing on its programs related to open technology, digital culture, and democratic innovation, with a special mention of the projects and initiatives that work to stop digital gender-based violence.

There will be two tour slots: at 11:00 AM and at 6:00 PM.

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. Using the Design Thinking methodology, participants will identify real needs, imagine creative solutions, and co-design concrete proposals to build platforms and political participation spaces adapted to the languages, digital habits, and organizational styles of Generation Z.

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.
