Medialab by L.E.V.

The Laboratory of Visual Electronics (L.E.V.) proposes an exploratory journey into the possible sonic landscapes of the future. A musical selection aligned with the discursive line of LAB 4 Weird Futures, where strange technological narratives and radical alternatives take center stage.

Presented in collaboration with L.E.V. (Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual), the program features two nights devoted to sonic and audiovisual experimentation.

On Thursday, the session brings together Nacho de la Vega, founder of the L.E.V. platform, and Shoeg, the project of sound and visual artist Carlos Martorell. In his performance Phantom Touch, Martorell explores the relationship between body, technology, and sound, extending a line of work he has presented at various international festivals.

On Saturday, Nacho de la Vega will share the stage with Merche Blasco, who will present Fauna: a live improvisation performance with instruments she has created herself. These sonic creatures come to life through movement, touch, and light, shaping an embodied and vibrational form of electronic music that connects all bodies present.

With more than eighteen years of experience, L.E.V. stands as a platform for creation, production, and experimentation in digital art, electronic sound, and audiovisual practices, fostering innovation and the exploration of new technological narratives through festivals and collaborations that expand the boundaries of the perceptible.

Shoeg is the main project of Carlos Martorell, combining sound collage and electronic experimentation. Martorell is a sound and visual artist whose work explores the relationship between body, technology, and sound. He has participated in festivals such as Sónar+D, L.E.V., and MUTEK.

Merche Blasco is a multimedia artist and composer based between Berlin and Barcelona. She creates deliberately imprecise technological assemblages that enable embodied and collaborative forms of live electronic composition. Her performances—staged with self-built instruments—explore listening, materiality, and collective resonance, and have been presented at venues such as Ars Electronica, La Biennale di Venezia, and the Whitney Museum in New York.
