Sónar+D, the branch of the Sónar festival dedicated to digital art, technology, and culture, will have its own autonomous space at La Llotja de Mar in Barcelona on June 18th and 19th, 2026.

The festival aims to re-examine our relationship with technology in an era of digital saturation, offering talks, exhibitions, and interactive experiences. This year, Sónar+D debuts at La Llotja de Mar, located in Pla de Palau, as a new venue for professionals and enthusiasts to connect.
The program includes a wide variety of activities, from conversations and panel discussions with international experts to practical workshops and artistic performances. The Talks & Panels lineup will feature figures such as Chia Amisola, Joana Moll, Mindy Seu, and Mónica Rikić, among many others.
Also noteworthy is the AI & Music powered by S+T+ARTS section, which will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and music with speakers like Anna Xambó and Nao Tokui. The workshops will provide opportunities for creation and experimentation, while the performances will showcase innovative artistic proposals.
The Expo+D exhibition will feature digital art and technology projects by creators such as Agoston Nagy, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and Tega Brain. There will also be immersive art installations and a Community section connecting various players in the creative and technological sectors.
