As part of (crear) Situacions, some of the people invited to the course will also offer a series of lectures open to the public that will allow the debates running through this edition to be expanded and shared. Taking the concept of brain rot as its starting point, these sessions will explore the relationships between contemporary digital cultures, attention economies, technological infrastructures and the forms of power that shape our everyday experience of the internet. A public programme that complements the course's collective learning process and invites us to consider, from diverse perspectives, the political, cultural and material effects of contemporary hyperconnectivity.
