The Biennial of Digital Arts is born to make Barcelona the international capital of the sector

Among the amalgam of festivals and digital centers such as Sónar+D, Mira, Offf, or Ideal, Barcelona is advancing towards becoming the capital of digital art. It is practically already so in Europe, but the ambition is to become a benchmark by crossing even more borders in the medium term. To achieve this latter goal, the Biennal d’Arts Digitals has been launched, with the essential support of public administrations: the City Council and the Generalitat Government, together with the Barcelona Creativity & Design Foundation and the collaboration of the Ministry of Culture. The platform aims to serve as an umbrella for all digital initiatives to, in addition to that primary goal, promote co-production between local and international agents and bring digital arts closer to the public.

The defense of Jonathan Andic rejects that another Mossos unit analyzes the evidence of the case

Jonathan Andic’s defense has filed an appeal against the decision of the judge in Martorell to accept the prosecutor’s request to incorporate the central unit for missing persons of the Mossos d’Esquadra into the investigation of Isak Andic’s death, for which his son is accused. Lawyer Cristóbal Martell signed a document on June 18 warning that the technical operational analysis of the evidentiary elements, which the prosecution wants to assign to the aforementioned unit, is not appropriate in this procedure and that the assessments they want to assign correspond exclusively to the judicial authority. He also asserts that what the prosecutor actually intends is to commission an intelligence expert report, which also has no place in this case.
