This event, 'The Assembly of the Image to Come,' delves into the future of imagery, exploring its production, social, and ecological repercussions. It questions what an image means today and how it affects us, moving beyond mere representation to examine its active role in shaping our world.
The event 'La Asamblea de la Imagen por Venir' (The Assembly of the Image to Come) aims to complete reflections on the futures of the image by examining the repercussions of our current and future concepts of imagery, including its modes of production and its impact on social and ecological spheres. It challenges visitors to consider not just what images show, but what they provoke, what they silence, and how they transform our understanding of reality. In an era of seemingly inexhaustible digital images, the event prompts urgent re-evaluation of an image's meaning, origin, production, and the worlds it sustains. It emphasizes investigating not only what images represent but also what they *do*, how they affect us, and the imprint they leave on social fabrics and ecosystems. The event is framed around a working group that has shared research, practices, and questions throughout the season to prepare for this day. Participating artists and collectives include Andrea Muniáin, an architect and multidisciplinary artist exploring the intersection of digitality and corporality; Marina Otero, an architect and curator focused on architecture, technology, and politics; Enrique Radigales, an artist integrating technology and ecology; the Institute for Postnatural Studies, a collective researching 'postnature' through interdisciplinary projects; XenoVisual Studies (XVS), a network studying how emerging technologies redefine visual aesthetics; and Marta Ramos-Yzquierdo, an independent curator and researcher analyzing hegemonic constructions of history and time. The sessions are accompanied by Caja Negra, an editor, and the event will be recorded and released as a podcast on Condeduque's Spotify channel, forming part of the Cúbit Festival.
The event will take place on May 29, 2026, from 5 PM to 9 PM in the Salón de Actos. Further ticketing or admission details beyond this general information are not provided on this page. This project is part of the Cúbit Festival.
