Overview
- The Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which unveiled the Creative Intelligence Lab Tuesday at Barcelona’s CCCB, says it is the first art‑and‑science unit embedded in a European supercomputing center.
- Physicist Fernando Cucchietti will lead the lab, guided by an advisory board that includes Ricard Robles, Francesca Bria, Mónica Bello, Nils Gilman and artist Enrique Rosas.
- The lab follows a three‑step model—arts, studio, solutions—that channels residencies and experiments into tools, products, patents and services for use outside the lab.
- The team will tap the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer and artificial intelligence for pilot work in areas such as climate, renewable energy, digital sovereignty and personalized medicine.
- First work is slated to begin with an artist residency in the second half of 2026, building on collaborations like singer Maria Arnal’s project that produced artworks and voice research with practical applications.
