Starting from systematically exploring the category of belief, we end up in the virtual on a planetary scale. We run into excesses-defects of times, spaces and individual references in the social networks that we currently frequent and that entangle us. This forces us to build a perspective capable of accounting not only for the alienation of meaning, but also for the meaning of contemporary alienation. Do we live in networks or in communities? Do we relate or do we connect? Do we prefer Freedom or security? The truth is that in this perpetual present, at any moment we can erase the other or disappear. We live obsessed with transparency and we are tired. Eros is dying and we don't even have time to admit it. We believe we are in the swarm when only noise and vertigo catch us. What can we expect in the digital labyrinth? Is everything coldly calculated and controlled? If a few years ago we celebrated the fact that robots behaved like humans, can we say the same about the opposite? These are some of the questions that we will address in our conference. Fabián Sanabria is an anthropologist and doctor in sociology, university professor and writer, as well as a researcher on the problems of belief and desire in contemporary societies.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, 8-bit music had its heyday, when chips were the only way to play music on computers and when this medium gave composers great flexibility to create their own sounds, but since the first sound chips had only simple tone generators and noise, it also placed significant limitations on the complexity of the sound. 8-bit music spawned a musical genre that uses the distinctive sound of these synthesized instruments, more for artistic value than hardware limitations.
Contemporary photographic production is made up of a powerful technocultural formula: camera + cell phone + internet + apps + gps + social networks. This conjunction becomes more complex with each second that technology, industry, the image economy, conversation and visual socialization through networks advance.
