AURA, by Xevi Bayona and Alex Posada, is an immersive experience consisting of 16 rings of light installed in trees that illuminate the surrounding area and cast shadows that evolve slowly over time. Aura means the light or immaterial luminous radiance that envelops certain objects. In the installation, designed for the Los Planteles Garden in El Retiro Park, the light vibrates and moves to the beat of the sound, creating dreamlike atmospheres that contrast with the natural landscape of the forest.

ALEX POSADA is a teacher and researcher in the fields of interactivity and digital art. As a multidisciplinary artist, he works at the intersection of art, science and technology through research and the constant development of his own systems and tools.

XEVI BAYONA is a lecturer at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Girona and on the master’s degree in Ephemeral Architecture at Elisava. The winner of three architecture and ephemeral architecture awards, he has carried out civil works such as the restoration of the Tortosa State Bridge over the Ebro and the refurbishment of the Sant Jaume de Llierca sports complex and the Olot Trade Fair.
