HortiHouse wins HackForGood Big Day with smart greenhouses
HortiHouse, the University of Vigo Student Project, Triumphs in HackForGood Big Day 2023
The innovative application for managing smart greenhouses in homes, created by María Cabrero and Jesús Valverde, students at the University of Vigo, has won first place in the HackForGood Big Day 2023 Awards. This tool not only monitors all aspects of the crop, but also has specific programmes adapted to the different stages of plant growth. The original idea was recognised at the VIII HackForGood Hackathon, an event held by the Telefónica Chair at the University of Vigo last October, where they won first prize. This allowed them to represent their university in the national edition of the competition, where they competed against projects from 24 Spanish universities. The event was held at 42 Madrid, located in Distrito Telefónica, where the best teams from each venue of this year's hackathon were presented.
HackForGood, in its eighth edition and organised by the Telefónica Chairs Network, saw more than 1,000 young people tackling various technological challenges with a social focus. As for the other awards, second place went to «Depresu» from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, a platform dedicated to mental health. Third place went to «E-Lab» from the University of Salamanca, which focuses on interactive and immersive educational experiences. The teams had the opportunity to present their projects through an «Elevator Pitch», followed by a video summary. The evaluation criteria was based on a 60% for the presentation and a 40% for the business plan.
The cash prizes for the first three places are 5,500, 2,000 and 1,000 euros, respectively. In addition, they will have a prominent presence in the Telefónica Chairs Network events at the “Telefónica Centenary” next year. Among those attending the award ceremony were Nicolás Oriol, Antonio Bengoa and Inés Temes, representing Telefónica España and 42 España. The HackForGood initiative, supported by the Telefónica Chairs Network and other partners, aims to highlight the vital role of youth in building a sustainable, digital and equitable future, with a focus on leaving no one behind.

The digital transformation of the art world. Meeting with Harald Klinke
Digital art historian Harald Klinke visits our auditorium to talk about imagination and image in times of artificial intelligence.
The digital transformation we are undergoing applies to all areas of our lives, including the images we perceive. The digital art historian Harald Klinke visits our auditorium to talk about imagination and image in times of artificial intelligence.
Technological innovation has always had an impact on art and, consequently, art history is increasingly using digital methods to observe and analyse these developments.
Big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence challenge the notion of the artist, creativity and the way we think about art. Harald Klinke's work introduces us to the latest technologies applied to image generation, their consequences for artists and for our collective visual memory.
Transformation models such as Dall-e 2 are machine learning models (machine-learning) to generate digital images from natural language descriptions based on millions of images on the web. These new visual phenomena have recently been the subject of much debate on social media, raising questions about the nature of such images and the role of artificial intelligence in art: How can we understand this new phenomenon in a historical context? What does it mean for our human perception? More to the point: What then is the future of art?
To discuss these issues, Harald Klinke will talk with Javier Navarro, Director of Strategy for the SOLO Art Collection, in a meeting moderated by researcher and curator María Santoyo.
To attend this meeting in person, book your free ticket on this page. Access will be allowed until full capacity is reached.
This meeting will have simultaneous translation, will be interpreted into LSE and can be followed at streaming openly on this website and on social networks with the hashtag #HaraldKlinke.
You can follow the event live, starting at 19:00h..:

Auth4art: digital artworks in the form of NFTs (telefonicatech.com)
Another Telefónica Tech success story
Auth4art offers a digital ecosystem of artworks with the possibility of generating NFTs of any of them and the corresponding auction.
Auth4Art currently hosts in its Marketplace more than 200 digital artworks by 3 different authors, including Cristóbal Toral. Its platform registers and authenticates both physical and digital artworks through Blockchain technology. In addition, it offers the author the possibility to decide whether his work will be public or not, to generate an NFT of it and to put it up for sale through an auction or direct sale in a controlled environment. Each author has complete control of each of his or her works and knows with total security any sale or transfer event as they are registered in Blockchain and validated by the author himself. This is possible thanks to TrustOS authenticity certificates, digital certificates with legal validity that ensure the authorship and ownership of digital content marketed as NFTs.
