To do so, he assembles several characters who represent a large part of the members of the human race that do not want to face up to a social reality full of uncertainties.

The first level consists of a physical volume that controls the real space and serves as support for the second level, that consists of a virtual layer of projected light to control the transformation and sequencing of the piece. The assembly of both levels brings about the impression of a physical geometry that it can [...]]]> http://www.alifeinvalencia.com/featured/pablo-valbuena-at-the-room-parpallo/feed/ 0 http://www.alifeinvalencia.com/featured/valencia-design-and-innovation/ http://www.alifeinvalencia.com/featured/valencia-design-and-innovation/#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:46:19 +0000 Valencia Guide http://www.alifeinvalencia.com/valencia-design-and-innovation/ Valencia: Design and Innovation, organized by the Bancaja Foundation with the collaboration of the Group of Investigation and Management of Diseño (IGD) of the Polytechnical University of Valencia, shows the visitor the different values from innovation, through design, that have helped 17 company leaders.
