Exhibition summary

This exhibition explored the revolutionary impact of converging technologies such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, ICT, and cognitive sciences. Through interactive devices and audiovisual content, it showcased how these advancements are transforming various fields and shaping the future.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'TecnoRevolución: la era de las tecnologías convergentes' delved into the profound contributions of science and technology to societal progress, particularly focusing on the exponential advancements driven by technological convergence in the last decade. It highlighted the interrelation of four key disciplines: nanotechnology, biotechnology, information and communication technologies (ICT), and cognitive sciences. These fields are shown to be interacting, cooperating, and complementing each other, leading to transformations in areas such as construction, transportation, agriculture, medicine, education, and art. The exhibition was structured into three environments. The first provided a brief history of technological evolution, from early tools to sophisticated robots. The second interactively explained the concept of techno-revolution and convergent technologies, illustrating how the internet, communication networks, personalized medicine, and new materials are radically changing reality, with examples ranging from nanometers to the evolution of computers and the study of DNA. The third environment used interactive devices to demonstrate practical applications arising from technological convergence, such as controlling objects with brainwaves or designs inspired by nature, like Velcro. Organized in collaboration with Obra Social la Caixa and featuring contributions from Telefónica I+D, the exhibition aimed to make these complex topics accessible and engaging.
