MADRID

science fiction in the present technological reality of the future

About the event

The Artian is happy to be back at Google For Startups Madrid Campus for another event of the ART X TECH X ENTREPRENEURSHIP event series. This time we will host the physicist and science fiction writer, Gisela Baños.

Science fiction has never intended to predict the future, and yet sometimes it does. How does it get it if that is not the main objective? What mechanisms does Science fiction have and in what way can we use them in any other professional field? Science fiction, due to its own characteristics and multidisciplinary nature, welcomes all kinds of humanistic and scientific disciplines under the same umbrella, which makes it one of the most powerful tools we have available to understand reality and project our thinking towards the future.

THE EVENT WILL BE HELD IN SPANISH.

Schedule

18:45 ‒ Opening doors
19:00 ‒ Gisela Baños Keynote
19:50 ‒ Q&A
20:15 ‒ Networking
