Until next Sunday, November 23, the Biennial City and Science 2025 will propose exciting proposals dedicated to quantum revolutions in the cities of Barcelona and Madrid. In total, more than a hundred activities are planned with the aim of bringing citizens closer to a discipline that has profoundly transformed the world since the beginning of the 20th century. Along these lines, the Canòdrom. The Ateneu d'Innovació Digital i Democràtica. , which is located at Carrer de Concepción Arenal, number 165, in the city of Barcelona, will be part of the Biennial City and Science 2025 and will offer three exciting proposals.

Therefore, the first proposal will be the show 'Science-Fiction' , by Cris Blanco, direction, interpretation, music, scenography and lighting, and Rubén Ramos, music , which will become a scenic journey through the quantum world through science fiction. With the help of humor, ingenuity and scenography, the show will convert scientific knowledge into scenic matter, mixing science and fiction to make accessible what often seems impossible to understand. This activity will take place on Wednesday, November 19, at 12 noon and 6 pm, in the Ada Lovelace room of the Canòdrom. The second proposal will be the conversation 'Explore quantum to understand artificial intelligence: current events and alternatives' , by Jordi Romero, physicist, and Marga Padilla, member of the Dabne cooperative . The meeting will focus on the links, connections and tensions between science, art and social criticism and will seek to collectively think about the future of technology from a critical and democratic perspective. Romero will discover quantum physics and how it relates to artificial intelligence and Padilla will imagine other possible paths for a critical digitalization aligned with ecosocial justice. There will also be interaction with the artistic installation of the Taller Estampa collective to reflect on the geopolitical and social impacts of artificial intelligence. This activity will take place on Friday, November 21, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Canòdrom. Finally, the third proposal will be the artistic installation 'Cartografia de la AI Generativa' by the Taller Estampa collective , which will focus on the territories, infrastructures and conditions that make this technology possible. This will remain until Thursday, November 27 on the ground floor of the Canòdrom.
