The symposium closed at Hangar, with an open audiovisual session where the following works were presented:
Mireia Feliu Fabra
LINES, 2004
7' 38"
From the phrase: “I'm still looking for the perfect point of view from which everything is a unity”, different characters face the camera lens, as if it were a mirror/window to the world, and the camera's focus ring, the tool for finding the perfect vantage point to look at. The lines (as opposed to the perfect point of view) finally denounce the loss of this sought-after unit.

Web presentation
metabolicvisualizer is an interface for the representation of a dynamic metabolic map where the elements that compose it can be manipulated: altering their concentrations, the speed of chemical reactions, or the reversal of cycles. In this way, the subliminal behaviors in the organization and the effects of changes in the system can be observed as a whole.

Autographs in series, 2006

the-colours.net, 2009
web page
Through a web form, each visitor can choose, from a range of reds, yellows and blues, which one they consider to be red, yellow and blue. The votes are classified by country and averaged to determine how the colors are seen in the different parts of the world. Obviously, screen calibration, ambient light color, and a host of other factors make it impossible to come up with a valid answer, leaving the question of "what's red (yellow and blue)?" unresolved

Merce, 2009
software
The Mercè software is an interpretation of a movement made by Merce Cunningham visualized in the form of Loop, a dance "solo" choreographed by himself in 1971. The motion capture sessions took place in August 2000, for by Paul Kaiser, Shelley Eshkar and Marc Downie..
Merce is a reflection on the aesthetics of Cunningham's choreography, the qualities of his scenography, costumes. The result is visually minimal, with the intention of focusing the viewer's attention on the movement and relationships between the elements. The two primary visual shapes in the piece (left and right) move according to data captured by a hand.
