Emergent Conversations

I’m Joel De las Heras Beán — Spanish artist, educator, and digital ethicist.
I began in photography and design, learning to build images that speak in silence.
Over time, I shifted toward systems: how potential is measured, who gets excluded, and why.
Now I teach Artificial Intelligence through memory, critical design, and radical pedagogy.
I don’t seek answers — I archive questions. What happens when systems forget?

Technology is not neutral.
