Isabel Cuixet, the famous Catalan director, addressed the negative impacts of artificial intelligence and global environmental crises during her tribute ceremony and sent messages to the future by donating 'anarchronic' objects to the Caja de las Letras fund. These objects will be displayed in a century and, according to Cuixet, symbolize the defense of the analog world against digital advancements and environmental crises.
Criticism of Artificial Intelligence and Environmental Crisis
Cuixet explicitly criticized artificial intelligence in a letter read during the ceremony, deeming it a threat to human creativity and authenticity. She emphasized that in the age of digital technologies, human and cultural values are at risk of being forgotten. The director stated that 'we live in a digital world where emotions and creativity have been neglected,' urging society to pay more attention to the importance of preserving culture and art in the present era.

Donating Anarchronic Objects to the Future
The donation of 'anarchronic' objects to the Caja de las Letras fund is part of a program Cuixet designed to show the importance of history and culture in the face of technological advancements. These objects include memorabilia from the analog era that, according to her, can remind future generations of how human and cultural life was before the advent of digital technologies. Cuixet also stated that this action could help future generations learn from past mistakes and strive to preserve their cultural identity.
Given the environmental challenges we face today, Cuixet emphasized that we must pay attention to our responsibility towards the Earth and the environment and seek sustainable solutions. She urged artists and cultural activists to collaborate and convey positive messages to society to create positive changes in the world. These actions can inspire future generations and remind them that human, artistic, and cultural values must be preserved under all circumstances.
