Load Gallery in Poblenou is hosting a special afternoon of screenings and talks.
On Sunday April 19th, Load Gallery hosts Global Fusion Barcelona, a one-day program organised with The AI Art Magazine, centred on its third issue, SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE—synthetic horizon.
The event runs from 14:00 to 20:00 and is structured around a series of screenings, short introductions, a panel, and a talk. Works from the magazine’s open call and editorial sections are presented across multiple screens throughout the afternoon.
A program built around the third issue
The event marks the release of the magazine’s third edition, published in April 2026. The issue focuses on how space is formed and perceived in relation to artificial intelligence, bringing together contributions from artists, writers, and curators working across different formats.
In Barcelona, this material is presented through a timed program rather than as a publication. The structure moves between shorter screening blocks and longer group presentations later in the day.
The cover of the issue features Body Machine (Meridians) (2025) by Sougwen Chung.
How the afternoon will unfold
Doors open at 14:00, followed by a welcome at 14:30 by Load Gallery and the magazine.
From 15:00 onwards, the program is divided into a sequence of screening blocks. The first part presents selected works from the open call under the “Golden Tickets” section. These include contributions by artists such as Tyrone Williams, Kenta Cobayashi, Stella Particula, Ian Haig, Albertine Meunier, Benjamin Bardou, and Marlon Lionel Staub.
A panel takes place at 16:30.
The program then continues with additional screenings under the “Synthetic Horizon” section. These include works by Josue Ibáñez, Sasha Stiles, Jason Scuderi, Ouchhh Studio, Angela Ferraiolo, and Jaime Reyes.
A talk follows at 18:00.
The final part of the program consists of two extended screenings: a full presentation of the Golden Tickets works at 18:30, and a full presentation of the Synthetic Horizon works at 19:30.
Works presented
The program includes a range of moving image, AI-generated, and installation-based works.
Among them is Turning and Tucked (2025) by 0009, an AI-generated image from the series Worn Currents. Ceiba (2026) by Josue Ibáñez draws on references to Mayan cosmology and material transformation. Quantum Global Organoid Orchestra (2025) by transLAB + n-D::StudioLab connects neural activity with generative audiovisual systems.
Other works include A Living Poem (2026) by Sasha Stiles, Daifuku-chan (2026) by Jason Scuderi, and Three Cameras (2026) by Angela Ferraiolo, which presents three different computational interpretations of the same recorded scene.
Additional contributions address topics such as language, perception, and media systems, including REVIEW (2025) by eeezeen and Flood the Zone with Shit (2025) by Albertine Meunier.

FrikiFish notes
Load Gallery has been building a space for digital and media art in Barcelona that feels consistent and intentional. The focus isn’t just on showing work, but on creating the right conditions for it—screen-based formats, time-based programs, and exhibitions that depend on light, sound, and sequencing rather than static display.
That matters more than it sounds. A lot of work in this field doesn’t translate well into traditional gallery formats, so having a space that’s set up for screenings, immersive installations, and hybrid events makes a difference.
This kind of program sits somewhere between an exhibition and a live session. You’re not just walking through a space—you’re following a timeline, watching things unfold, and sharing that experience with other people in the room. It changes how the work lands.
In the context of Barcelona, where digital art is still developing its own infrastructure, spaces like Load Gallery are helping define what that can look like locally. Events like this feel less like one-offs and more like part of that slow, intentional build.
