One of the highlights of the festival. The exhibition Electronic Fields 2023 takes over the territory and places electronic art projects in different spaces in Llerena and Reina.

The exhibition immerses us in an intriguing world of inter-species communication, through bio-hybrid technologies, collaboration between human and non-human intelligences, questions related to privacy and security in the digital age, the use of artificial intelligence and the revaluation of forgotten technologies. It also presents proposals to promote ecological practices and challenges anthropocentric and technodeterminist narratives by exploring other intelligent life systems in our environment, such as animals, plants and machines. This journey invites us to reflect on the possibility of a planetary intelligence, a concept that James Bridle has thoroughly investigated in his remarkable book Ways of Being.
