Bio

Julia Múgica is a Mexican scientist and artist who currently focuses on exploring complex processes in nature. With an interdisciplinary background that includes undergraduate studies in biology, a master degree in psychology, and a Ph.D. in computational physics, she is deeply interested in understanding how collectives make decisions that result in behavioral synchrony. Recently, she has been dedicated to creative coding, where the process of creation amplifies different aspects of the same phenomenon. Julia’s work encompasses data analysis and visualization, modeling of animated particles, designing sound based on algorithms of random motion, rhythm and collective patterns using interactive robots, and artistic applications of voice recognition. She is an active member of the Toplap community in Barcelona. She teaches at the University of Barcelona, where she instructs on collective behavior and complexity from a socio-computational perspective.

Project

A passionate group of teachers, designers and creators of educational tools from around the world will meet at Faberllull Olot to promote these creative learnings in educational programming and robotics. Many of them already share projects during the year, from distant locations, enjoying the technologies that allow to work remotely and asynchronously, but the personal and intensive meeting that Faberllull Olot offers them is an invaluable gift.
