Manuel Bartual, Bely Basarte and Olga Subirós in conversation with Marta Fernández. CREATIVITY IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

This event is presented as a space for dialogue between creativity and the digital revolution, with the leading role of creators and their relationship with technology. We will attend to the encounter of the transmedia fiction, the music in digital platforms, the Big Data and the urban design and the ability of digital art to excite and to make us think about relevant subjects such as the environment and the sustainability.

Manuel Bartual has written and published stories for over twenty years. He has published comic strips (El Jueves), directed short and full movies (Todos tus secretos, Premio CANAL+ a Mejor Película en el Festival de Cine de Málaga). World trending topic on Twitter for one of his stories and Planeta Prize in 2018 with El otro Manuel, he has created the series in podcast format Biotopía, story of a scientific community where time, matter and space, shaping a transmedia universe which combines science fiction and comedy (Podium Podcast, 2020) and Santuario, together with Carmen Pacheco (Audible, 2021). Bely Basarte is singer-songwriter. She has worked for Disney performing songs from The Beauty and The Beast and has published two albums with Universal Music: Desde mi otro cuarto and El camino que no me llevó a Roma. But these achievements came after her beginnings uploading own works and covers online and posting them on Youtube, where she has reached hundreds of thousands of followers. Olga Subirós, architect, will participate in the digital art and sustainability section. Subirós is the author, along with the studio 300.000 Km/s and the singer María Arnal, from the immersive installation ‘Aire’, which was presented by Instituto Ramón Llul in the Bienal de Arquitectura de Venecia and proposes tools against the climate crisis.
