What do we understand by “web cinematics”? Why is it important to take them into account when producing, programming and distributing audio-visual content online? This talk explores the importance of livestream video technologies, mobile technologies, videogames and data visualisation methodologies in the consumption of online content and their potential to construct autonomous audio-visual cultural devises.

Miriam Cacho

Participant
Miriam Cacho

Miriam Cacho has 10 years of creative experience in a fast-paced creative environment.
After a decade of advertising experience and several years as Branded Content Manager of PlayGroundCommunications, to end up in the Content world was unexpected.
Her deep understanding of digital media allows her to best position out- of-the-box narratives. Also, as a creative strategist, she brings strong storytelling skills to a multi-platform world. But, on top of that, what she likes above all is to help foster a witty take on projects, both off- and online. That’s why she’s currently working as a Creative Director in Domestic Data Streamers.
Miriam’s main areas of knowledge are: content strategy, native advertising, hacking narratives, and not underestimating the power of a meme.
During this time she has had the pleasure to work with brands like Airbnb, San Miguel, HBO International, Netflix ESP and Jägermeister, and to develop, as creative director and script writer, a content series project alongside Carlo Padial and PlayGround Fire called Debería Callarme.

Elisenda Muns

Elisenda Muns

Elisenda (Barcelona, 1986) studied Art History at Barcelona’s Universitat Autònoma and completed her theoretical studies with a Master in Graphic Design. She soon entered the world of exhibition design and museography, working first at Exit Design and then at Mediapro Exhibitions. This field fascinated her as it allowed her to explore new ways of communication, working hand in hand with designers and artists in the field of audiovisuals, sound, and virtual and augmented reality.
Currently, she is a Project Manager at Domestic Data Streamers where we make data available as a visible and visual element of discourse, using aspects of participants’ experience in a creative, shared-knowledge piece.
