WeArt Festival – New Media: SubverJam
Curated by Damián Pissarra
SubverJam was the New Media proposal of the WeArt Festival, conceived as an audiovisual jam session where sound, image, and technology were created in real time. Held at the Born Centre Cultural, the project transformed the space into a living laboratory of experimentation, combining analog and digital tools.
The project brought together artists and collectives such as Wú::, Telenoika, Bistu Ryx, VJ Ovideo, VJ Electroiman, Low Toy, San Taub, and Carlos Edelmiro, who, through improvisation and collaborative work, shaped a collective and ephemeral piece. Under the concept “we are all one,” SubverJam embraced subversion, error, and the blending of languages as driving forces of creation.

El proyecto reunió a artistas y colectivos como Wú::, Telenoika, Bistu Ryx, VJ Ovideo, VJ Electroiman, Low Toy, San Taub y Carlos Edelmiro, quienes, a través de la improvisación y el trabajo colaborativo, dieron forma a una pieza colectiva y efímera. Bajo el concepto “todos somos uno”, SubverJam reivindicó la subversión, el error y la mezcla de lenguajes como motores de creación.
