Estampa is an artistic collective of programmers, filmmakers, and researchers based in Barcelona. Their practice is grounded in a critical and archaeological approach to audiovisual and digital technologies, with a particular interest in archiving and experimental audiovisuals. Since 2017, one of their main lines of work has been the investigation of the uses and ideologies of AI. This interest began with the programmatically titled project El mal alumno: Pedagogía crítica para inteligencias artificiales, followed by numerous investigations, publications, installations, performances, and audiovisual works that can be consulted on the collective's website: tallerestampa.com.
