Three projects that experiment with the latest trends in Visual Arts were exhibited at NXT, the festival’s platform for emerging talent

IED Barcelona participated again in NXT, the platform for new emerging talent at OFFF, the world’s leading festival in the field of creativity, art and digital design. From 8 to 10 May, three students from the Design School presented the design process of these projects, which experiment with the latest trends in Visual Arts, at Disseny Hub Barcelona.

“This year, we returned to NXT with fresh, provocative proposals full of personality. They all share a restless and experimental gaze that dares to explore new visual and digital languages, testing and mixing formats and techniques with great creative freedom. They are technically ambitious projects with a highly contemporary approach, ranging from art direction and graphic design to branding, motion and 3D. During the festival, the creators themselves told us how they went from an idea to the final result”, states Mery Glez, Head of Visual Arts School at IED Barcelona.
