La propuesta de esta actividad es ir a visitar la exposición retrospectiva dedicada a Walker Evans, una figura esencial de la fotografía moderna y uno de los grandes cronistas visuales de los Estados Unidos del siglo XX. La exposición, titulada *Walker Evans. Now and Then*, se celebra en el centro Kbr y propone una revisión completa de la obra del fotografo norteamericano y de su influencia en generaciones posteriores de artistas. Junto a la exposición de Walker Evans podremos visitar también una muestra dedicada a Carlos Pérez Siquier (Almería, 1930-2021), uno de los mayores renovadores de la fotografía española a través de una perspectiva antropológica. * Actividad gratuita

Join us for a very special **Hack & Tell** hosted by **Allianz Technology**! We’ve curated a lineup of **four talks spread across 2 tracks** that dive into the intersection of high-end research and creative engineering - plus plenty of time to meet other AI engineers, researchers and founders over pizza and drinks. This time, we’ll be looking at how AI is built and deployed across four distinct domains: 🎵 Training AI on personal musical styles 🖊️ Building editable vectorial design systems 👤 The math behind real-time avatars ⚙️ Managing context within large-scale agentic workflows **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🗓 **Agenda** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **18:00** – Doors open *(Arrive early for security)* **18:30** – Start of Talks *(You can switch tracks between talks)* **Track 1:** * Teaching AI to Make Music Like I Do * Building a Real-Time Interactive Avatar Pipeline **Track 2:** * Penpot Wizard: Bridging Design and AI * Managing Context Bloat in Agentic Workflows **20:00** – Networking *(Pizza & Drinks)* **21:00** – End **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 📍 **Location** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** [Allianz Technology, Av. d'Icària, 199, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Allianz+Technology/@41.3939789,2.1971547,1145m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4a34d7c19ee79:0x4b6de71e7cf72dd8!8m2!3d41.3939749!4d2.1997296!16s%2Fg%2F11fqq5rg6h?entry=tts&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIPu8ASoASAFQAw%3D%3D&skid=5dca3ee1-5bdf-4435-ac07-8d823898778f) ⚠️ **Important:** Registration with **DNI/NIE** is required (\*) **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🎵👤 Track 1** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🎤 **Bianca Cheng** **–** **Teaching AI to Make Music Like I Do** Bianca is a musician, designer, and technologist (formerly at Apple and MIT Media Lab) who approaches engineering with a creative soul. She’ll be sharing her work with HeartMula, a project where she trained models on recordings of her own songs. Learn how she uses AI as a collaborative partner to explore new musical ideas while staying true to her unique creative voice. 🎤 **Arnab Dey & Marcel Alcoverro (UNITH) – Building a Real-Time Interactive Avatar Pipeline** What does it actually take to turn an image into a real-time photorealistic human avatar? Arnab (Senior Research Engineer) and Marcel (Head of AI) will walk through the full engineering stack behind a live interactive avatar: from LLM-driven speech synthesis and autoregressive 3D motion generation to Gaussian Splatting rendering streamed at 60 FPS. This talk dives into the research models powering visual avatars, the hard latency trade-offs that shape every design decision, and what production MLOps looks like when your service is a human face. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🖊️⚙️ Track 2** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 🎤 **Xesca Alabart (Gluecharm) – Penpot Wizard: Bridging Design and AI** Why do most AI design tools give you code instead of editable design objects? Current tools like v0 or Bolt often leave designers stuck in a "prompt loop" - where even a minor layout tweak requires a new prompt rather than a simple click-and-drag. Xesca, creator of Penpot Wizard, is pioneering a fundamentally different path. Her talk introduces a Vectorial AI-driven methodology that treats the canvas as a live environment rather than a code-generation target. By designing with AI and Vectorial Design as a structural foundation, Penpot Wizard generates native design objects—shapes, paths, and components—that designers can edit normally. It’s about moving past the prompt-only bottleneck to provide a functional, editable starting point for real-world UX. 🎤 **Gabriel Llauradó Queralt (Allianz Technology) - Investigator: A Multi-Agent System That Digs into Tickets** Every Jira ticket hides a trail across code, databases, logs, and half-forgotten Slack decisions. Gabriel built Investigator using LangGraph, with specialist agents for code, DB, Jira, OpenSearch, Confluence, GitHub and Vision — Orchestrated by a Planner, Router, Critic and Evaluator that argue with each other until the evidence holds up. He'll walk through the architecture, the prompts that actually work, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and lessons learned making LLMs reason about real enterprise codebases. **See you soon!** *(\*) You will greatly help us by providing your DNI/NIE upfront when you RSVP.

No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one. This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now. We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required. WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t **What we talk about (but not limited to):** *Agentic coding workflows and tooling - Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice *Multi-agent architectures and orchestration - AI-native product building *What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it **Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better. **Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
