Esen K. Tütüncü is a Research Scientist at Autodesk Research, a creative coder and an artist working at the intersection of neuroscience, human-computer interaction, design, and immersive technologies. Her research investigates how people experience and make meaning from the spaces around them, combining behavioral science, simulation, and spatial computing to inform the design of future built environments. She holds a PhD from the University of Barcelona and is a member of the Institute of Neurosciences (UB). Previously, she did research internships at Google and Autodesk, contributing to projects in spatial computing, multimodal interaction, embodied AI, immersive storytelling, and emerging interaction paradigms. Her work bridges scientific inquiry and creative practice, exploring how technology shapes perception, agency, and human experience. Alongside her research, she teaches and mentors students in XR, creative coding, interactive applications, and immersive narrative design through institutions including UPC CITM and Elisava. She is passionate about fostering interdisciplinary approaches that connect art, technology, and human-centered design. As an artist, Esen creates immersive installations and audiovisual performances that explore memory, embodiment, agency, and digital realities. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Sónar+D, CCCB, Espronceda Institute of Art & Culture, and through the MEKAN.SPACE Virtual Museum Project. Before pursuing research, she produced documentary films and participated in long-distance cycling expeditions across West Africa and Southeast Asia, documenting the journeys through film and photography.

Kyle McDonald is an artist working with code. He is a contributor to open source arts-engineering toolkits like openFrameworks, and builds tools that allow artists to use new algorithms in creative ways. He has a habit of sharing ideas and projects in public before they're completed. He creatively subverts networked communication and computation, explores glitch and systemic bias, and extends these concepts to reversal of everything from identity to relationships. Kyle has been an adjunct professor at NYU's ITP, and a member of F.A.T. Lab, community manager for openFrameworks, and artist in residence at STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon, as well as YCAM in Japan. His work is commissioned by and shown at exhibitions and festivals around the world, including: NTT ICC, Ars Electronica, Sonar/OFFF, Eyebeam, Anyang Public Art Project, Cinekid. He frequently leads workshops exploring computer vision and interaction.

Albert.DATA is the new artistic identity of Albert Barque-Duran (1989). Albert is an artist and a researcher in Creative Technologies and Digital Art, currently based in Barcelona. Albert, the human one, earned a PhD and a Postdoc in Cognitive Science from the Centre for Mathematical Neuroscience at City, University of London (UK) and have been a Visiting Postgraduate Researcher at Harvard University (USA) and University of Oxford (UK). Albert’s artistic research focuses on: (1) human-algorithm interactions during artistic and creative processes; (2) perception and aesthetics under sensory conflicts; and (3) the transformation of our artistic cognitive practices in virtual contexts, where the process of cognition is mediated by digital artifacts. They have exhibited and performed at the most significant and international new media art, electronic, experimental festivals, contemporary art museums and biennales such as Sónar+D (Barcelona, Spain), Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria), ZKM (Karlsruhe, Germany), Ming Contemporary Art Museum (Shanghai, China), V_2 Lab for the Unstable Media (Rotterdam, Netherlands), Daejeon Museum of Art (Daejon, South Korea), ISEA International, Museum Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki, Greece), and many more. Recently, they have been short-listed for the ‘FUTURES’ category of the LUMEN Prize Award 2023, and received the ‘Re: Humanism’ & ‘Romaeuropa Digitalive’ Prize 2023. Albert was also awarded with the Artist Residency at Sonar+D x Factory Berlin in 2020 and received an award from "We Are Europe" (Creative Europe Programme of the European Union), which endowed him as one of the 64 young "Culture Activists" in Europe in 2019.

Entangled Others is an experimental artist duo composed of Feileacan Kirkbride McCormick and Sofia Crespo. Their collaborative practice delves into the intricate web of relationships between the more-than-human world and its interaction with human technologies. Driven by the concept of entanglement—a complex state where no single entity exists in isolation, and every action, interaction, and expression resonates through a multitude of interconnected beings. In their practice, McCormick and Crespo explore the uncanny and eerie spaces that lie between human technologies and non-human worlds, advocating for the dissolution of the self-imposed distance that separates us from the richness of our interwoven existence. Their art emphasises the necessity of recognising and nurturing the diversity and interconnectedness that define our shared environment. Through their work, they question notions of bias in technology, and the representation of natural species: proposing a return to a biological model of computation, and exploring concepts of entanglement across various species & ecosystems. Entangled Others invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries between the human and non-human, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the intricate tapestry of life that sustains us all. They have participated in talks, exhibitions and have been awarded prizes internationally. Some of these include presentations at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, NeueHouse LA, MIT, Re:Humanism, Oxford University, UNESCO HQ Paris, Goldsmith University, Times Square Midnight Moment among many others. Their work also forms part of prestigious private and permanent institutional collections such as the Buffalo AKG Museum, Onassis Foundation, Colección SOLO, among many others.

The IASlab is an immersive space in digital technologies that studies the growth of media content, art, and digital entertainment, and is also a lever for the evolution of other sectors through their experiences. A transversal and multidisciplinary environment in which all the elements that make up the ecosystem of La Salle Barcelona (Ramon Llull University) dialogue: research, academia, companies, startups, and other social agents.
