The first SEEDS have been sown and are starting to sprout

GERNIKARTEZ – an artistic initiative of our Basque InteractionsSeeds partner Cluster GAIA.

What is GARNIKATEZ?

Co-Creation of smart spaces for promoting culture and art as an ally in stress reduction and wellbeing, combined with the possibilities of emerging technologies.

The seed in the Spanish Basque Country has several roots that demonstrated their influence and growing power in the first workshop in May:

  • TECHNOLOGIES FOR PEOPLE: R&D through collaboration with artists Tekniker. Johan Kildal: Human factors in technology researcher.
  • VIRTUALISATION AND ART: Exploring new creative processes. Maximilian Pelzmann & TRIVIMA
  • Introduction of Dab Contemporary Dance Start-Up. Marina Eskisabel, Iker Sanz

  • The Impact of design on People’s wellbeing. diaradesign. Olaia Irulegi

Which fruits the seed of GAIA will bear is still open. We will keep you informed about its development and growth. But one thing is already certain: the cultivation and care are in the excellent hands of Ana González Telleria and Itziar Vidorreta.
