- 12:19¿Lagartijas endémicas o serpientes invasoras? | Antonia Maria Cirer Costa | TEDxDaltVilaQué está pasando en Ibiza con las serpientes introducidas. Se están extinguiendo las lagartijas endémicas y otras especies autóctonas. Las lagartijas son el único vertebrado endémico de las Pitiusas y cuando desaparecen surgen nuevas plagas en los árboles, produciéndose desequilibrios ecológicos notables. I am a biologist from Ibiza and I have observed and studied the Ibiza wall lizard since more 50 years ago. This lizard is a great living evolutionary example. With that propose I studied Evolution with Dr. Prevosti and Ecology with Dr. Margalef in Barcelona University. I finished my doctoral thesis in 1987, supervised by Dr. Martinez-Rica, on lizards populations in all the Pitiusen Islands. I have been Biology, Geology and Earth Science professor, but now I am retired. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

En esta charla inspiradora, el artista digital y diseñador Ezequiel Pini explora los límites difusos entre lo real y lo imaginario, cuestionando la idea arraigada de que el arte debe existir en forma física para ser considerado válido.

Desde paisajes arquitectónicos oníricos hasta los icónicos fondos de Windows, su trabajo desafía las percepciones convencionales sobre el arte, la tecnología y la creatividad. ¿Seguimos atados a definiciones tradicionales o estamos entrando en una nueva era donde la imaginación moldea la realidad? Ezequiel Pini, known as Six N. Five, is an award-winning Argentinian digital artist based in Barcelona. Over the past decade, he has pioneered the use of 3D to craft dreamlike worlds with a clean, modern aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from nature, spaces, and cultures, Pini blends architecture, landscaping, and cinematography to reimagine natural beauty. Known for his collaborations with top brands and creators, his work includes installations, global exhibitions, and wallpapers for Microsoft Windows 11. His refined imagination and poetic compositions make him a standout in digital artistry.
