Mosaic 205 editorial

This issue of Mosaic features articles that show different ways to relate art and technology. The first, by Anaisa Franco, presents her work with interactive sculptures that transform public spaces through light, sensors, solar energy, recycled materials and shapes designed to foster movement, exploration and connection among people. The article synthesizes more than two decades of international practice and highlights how these projects turn everyday environments into participatory experiences.

The second article, by Marta Verde, explores the evolution of texture from physical matter to real-time generative processes. Verde discusses how texture becomes a dynamic phenomenon based on algorithms, noise, feedback, and visual behaviours, and describes how several artists today work with texture as a living language that combines image, sound, temporality and variation.

The third article is dedicated to Ars Electronica 2025. A team from Mosaic’s editorial committee attended the festival, held under the theme “Panic yes/no”, and collected testimonials from Spanish and Catalan creators who participated in different exhibitions, installations, workshops and performances. The article brings together their contributions, explaining their projects, their experiences at the festival and the works that were most relevant to them.

This article also incorporates general data from the festival, such as its celebration in Linz and the participation of artists, scientists, scientists, activists and other profiles from numerous countries, as well as a final reflection on Ars Electronica as a space for meeting and debate.
