POSTHUMANLY SPEAKING - II Edition of the international video creation contest AI+
Aula de Cinema i Arts Audiovisuals of Universitat Rovira i Virgili (ACiAA), along with Mèdol - Centre d'Arts Contemporànies of Tarragona, Plataforma Arte y Medios (Art and Media Platform , PAM) and the Media Arts Biennial of Santiago de Chile, summoned the I International Video creation Contest "Posthumanly Speaking" around, through, and beyond artificial intelligence (AI+).
On September 20, 2025, the jury - composed of Oskar Fernández, Angie Bonino, Isabel García, Joana Zapata, and Pau Waelder - met to acknowledge the value of the 90 submitted works, and especially the 4 that were awarded. The discussions generated around the pieces were highly enriching. In this sense, it is expected that this selection will help foster dialogue in various viewing environments, where the creative use of AI and its many possible forms can be explored, as well as the sociopolitical contexts in which these modes develop.

"Etherbosque" (2025), Sebastián Seifert
An essay that combines algorithmic aesthetics and generative art to reflect on the effects of artificial intelligence on ecosystems. Etherbosque stands out for its visual and conceptual coherence, inviting viewers to consider the risks and extremes of technology in life and the environment.
- AWARDED WORK - LINE C: Divergent Realities
"Jackpot" (2025), Sebastián Cuevas, Camila Cañete, Felipe Frías, Daniel Erasmy
A visually appealing and well-executed narrative that leverages the resources offered by artificial intelligence for image creation. The work is notable for its alignment with contemporary audiovisual languages commonly found on social media platforms like YouTube or Instagram, engaging with the socio-discursive realities surrounding AI.
- Special Prize Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV)
"Disparate artificial" (2024), Xavier Solé Mora
This proposal begins with a nod to Goya to reflect on the possibilities of art in the face of new technologies. The piece connects past and future through a satire on image manipulation, offering a critical and cautious perspective on what artificial intelligence can produce.
