Guille will present a non-human composer prototype developed by Santiago Pereson as part of oveja electrica (electric sheep), an ongoing project with the goal of creating an artificial composer: a system that, through processes spawned inside one or more computers, will be able to write music in a non-random, independent way, and with the least possible influence by the programmer/meta-composer's tastes or aesthetic criteria. Oveja Electrica received the first prize in the Multidisciplinary Experimental Project category (2003 LIMb0 Prize) from the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art.

During the day, Guille will be wearing a T-Shirt wiht the inscription "I am looking for emotions" and will be handing out cards with different emotions written on them. Then, he will record with his camera how people impersonate these emotions. These images will be edited and shown during the "Electric sheep Show".
