According to the event’s website, this edition of Desachate Anormal, organized by the Advertising Circle, aimed “not only to challenge participants” but also “to look beyond advertising and address relevant, cross-cutting issues, offering insights to those who work daily with ideas as their primary raw material.”

The school set up an interview area, a space designed by Fabián Barros and his students from the Bachelor’s Program in Design, Art, and Technology, featuring part of the digital art exhibition that opened in February at the LATU facilities, titled When the Heart Beats Like a Hammer. In fact, Barros worked alongside artists María Eugenia Pérez Burger and Mónica Talamás on the event’s art direction. Together, they designed, produced, and exhibited digital installations, LED lighting, and spatial interventions.
