• Would you dare to leave everything behind for four years to lose yourself in nature and savor freedom?

David Ruiz, designer and tireless explorer and author of the recently published book “Irse*”, will tell us about the journey that he lived around the world sailing alone for four years. How he closed his creative studio ruizcompany during this long period of time, to come back later and continue again with his activity, concluding that fears castrate our dreams and can condemn us to a mediocre existence, and having corroborated in his own skin what he says: “If you do extraordinary things, extraordinary things will happen to you”.

Motivations, mental preparation, doubts and decisions. The crossing of the three great oceans, the mythical islands of the South Pacific, the forced stay of a month in a remote place in the North of Australia in the company of a crocodile, the crossing of the High Risk Area, up to the Horn of Africa, or the months spent in a desert paradise off the Egyptian coast after the outbreak of the pandemic.

These and other episodes will be narrated by the protagonist himself and illustrated with photographs and videos.

Come and awaken your most adventurous self!

Remember: Time of the open talk at 12:30h

Address: Ciutat de Granada 34

• If you are one of those people who are moved by technologies applied to art, you can’t miss this innovative talk:

Luzildab co-founders Mike van der Noordt and Giles Pooley will present DIGITAL CANVAS, an augmented reality platform that allows artists to create digital art of all types and scales, and place it in any urban environment.

Introduction to Digital Canvas will cover:

What is Digital Canvas and what does it consist of?
How did Mike take it from an idea and turned it into a platform for other artists?
How can it be used by artists to create new works or repurpose existing pieces to reach new audiences?
What types of artwork can be created?
What limitations does it entail (needs of an application)?
How can users access/view the works?….

A unique opportunity to discover a new way of creating and interpreting Art. It can be a new language that will transform the concept of creation and communication in every sense.

Time: 17h to 18h

Collaborative exhibition from 12h to 20h

There will be a space dedicated to the sale of art and a News & Coffee to relax and enlighten yourself with a selection of independent and international magazines of the latest art and design.
