Els dies 1 i 2 de febrer de 2025, la façana de Casa Batlló tornarà a atreure el públic amb el seu mapping anual que, després de quatre anys, s’ha consolidat com un dels espectacles audiovisuals del món. La seva última edició va atraure més de 95.000 persones.

Després dels mappings de Refik Anadol el 2022 i 2023, i de Sofia Crespo el 2024, Casa Batlló ha tornat a convidar un artista reconegut a utilitzar la icònica façana de Gaudí com a llenç per desenvolupar una obra exclusiva inspirada en l'univers creatiu de l'arquitecte. Aquesta iniciativa s’emmarca dins del programa artístic The Heritage of Tomorrow, que té com a objectiu portar el llegat de Gaudí al futur convidant artistes de renom a reinterpretar-lo.

Per a l’edició del 2025, Casa Batlló ha seleccionat l’artista multimedia Quayola, l’obra del qual explora el món natural a través de processos computacionals avançats. 

El mapping, titulat “Arborescent”, és un elogi digital de la natura on diferents espècies d’arbres escenifiquen els seus sistemes de creixement i respostes a l’entorn en un terreny de cultiu únic: la façana de Casa Batlló.

Conegut per reinventar el patrimoni històric, Quayola sintetitza les inspiracions arquitectòniques de Gaudí i combina visualitzacions minimalistes basades en algoritmes amb una estètica pictòrica i acolorida.

El mapping estarà acompanyat d’una banda sonora original composta pel propi artista que serveix de fil conductor per submergir-nos en l’esclat de la vida en l’arquitectura.
