¿Interactivos? April - May 2006
~

Interactivos? is the name of a hybrid workshop, exhibition and seminar about the uses of electronics and programming for educative and creative purposes, held at medialabmadrid, Centro Cultural Conde Duque in the Spring of 2006. The exhibition space was transformed into a
workplace for sharing experiences, acquiring know-how and debating ideas.
The Interactivos? experience explored a view of interactivity strongly centred on collective processes of production. Participants developed digital art and sound art projects, critic design pieces and educational applications with the help of David Cuartielles, Zachary Lieberman and Hans Christoph Steiner. The whole process was completely open to the public, who could visit the
workshop and witness (or even help) the participants in their development work.
Artists, engineers, musicians, coders, designers and architects from different countries submitted projects under the understanding that they should be open for collaboration in interdisciplinary working groups. Once the projects were selected, a second call was published asking for new participants to join the working groups on the previously selected projects.
Recursive Dog members met each other at ¿Interactivos? Workshop in Madrid during April 2006. Emanuele Mazza and Dolo Piqueras attended the workshop as students and Enrique Tomás was the technical director of the workshop as part of the medialabmadrid staff. The horizontal organization and hierarchy made the permeability of opinions possible during the production period of ¿Interactivos?. This character became ¿Interactivos? An useful meeting point for creative minds and projects for the future and also it was the starting point of the ideas of Recursive Dog project. Emanuele Mazza produced the work “D3SOMBRA [about the shadow]".

Ars ElectronicaFestival - Electrolobby '06
~

Within the Ars Electronica Festival, the electrolobby is the festival area for Digital Culture & Lifestyle. With the title of Make it simple this year’s electrolobby takes a look into the myth of electronic nomadism. Here we depict shortly the contemporary new-media creators’ reality and how it is represented at the electrolobby. The electrolobby offers an interlaced program of workshops, minishops, talks, company-visits, interactive works, and performances, all of them spiced in indigo turbans and with the openness of a community of creators willing to expand. [D. Cuartielles – Curator ] A representative part of the ¿Interactivos? Workshop produced in medialabmadrid was invited to Ars Electronica Festival 2006. The electrolobby was filled with the
¿Interactivos? Exhibition and workshops. Two of the members of Recursive Dog showed their works: D3SOMBRA by Emanuele Mazza, and E.M.I. by Enrique Tomás. Also, Emanuele and Enrique as well Dolo Piqueras were in charge of a the Experimental Music Instruments workshop as
teachers. You can see dozen of photos here:

Madrid's White Night 2006
~

Madrid's White Night is a cultural, open and free initiative that is accommodated in the White Nights Europe programme, alongside other European cities (Paris, Rome, Brussels and Riga). The White Night corresponds to the model created by Paris' Nuit Blanche, based on key concepts such as the city, night, culture, contemporary creation, cost-free experiences, discovering the city's spaces and values, and pedestrian mobility supported by public transport and participation. The event has also gathered a great selection of artists, individual and group creators and performers, and hopes to attract the maximum number of Madrid's inhabitants and visitors. Recursive Dog was invited as in the standar form of EMI (Experimental Music Instruments) to offer a massive
public domain workshop about electronic knowledge and music. Hundreds of people soldered dozens of electronic instruments from 10 PM to 6 AM at the same time they were informed about free hardware and software and about collaborative creative processes (as they were part of the EMI community they contributed with their ideas and knowledge).All the instruments and the knowledge were free.
