The Creative Resource Library is excited to host artist Anna Díaz, half of the duo behind acclaimed Barcelona-based creative studio Hamill Industries, for a special talk and Q&A. Since 2015, Hamill Industries has toured worldwide with Floating Points, creating their visual universe and generating immersive experiences, challenging synesthetic questions about visual creation and perception of music.
Díaz will lead us through a short overview of Hamill Industries' creative journey, highlighting projects where the integration of sound becomes the primary driver of the piece, and the impact of AI on their work, including examples from their recent creation, Mere Mortals, at the San Francisco Ballet.
Díaz will also showcase specific projects, leading up to Audible Spectrums, where participants can understand how sound samples work for visual representation, akin to their Vector Graphics Show.
Hamill Industries is a creative studio based in Barcelona (Spain) composed of artists Anna Díaz and Pablo Barquín. The duo specializes in developing innovative projects based on experimentation, blending emerging and traditional techniques to create new formats of visual communication.

They are currently in San Francisco collaborating on the creation of the ballet Mere Mortals by the San Francisco Ballet, under its new artistic director Tamara Rojo, and alongside choreographer Aszure Barton and the musician Floating Points; where they use their eye and creativity to bind together all the disciplines.
