The GTS research group at iTEAM took part in Digital Jove 2026, the 5th Forum on Accessible Creative Technologies, Immersive Realities and the Digital Divide, held at American Space Valencia, with the workshop Soundcool: Collaborative Audiovisual Creation.
During the activity, participants explored the audio and video modules of the Soundcool system. Using tablets, they worked together to create sound and visual content in real time, manipulating loops, audiovisual materials, effects and original videos within a collaborative environment. The experience demonstrated how technology can transform individual contributions into collective artistic creations, combining music, video and digital creativity through an intuitive and accessible platform.
The session concluded with a special activity based on one of the works developed as part of Jorge Sastre’s Fulbright research project at New York University (NYU). Participants took part in the real-time audiovisual recreation of a piece originally created through an international internet connection between Spain and New York.
The project also stands out for its social dimension, as its original creators were people living with Alzheimer’s disease from AFA Valencia and AFA Canals, who collaborated remotely from Spain with participants in New York through Soundcool’s networked platform.
