Student projects
I need a break
Soraia Serrano (LAUS Golden Award 2025)
Motion graphics project that reflects with humour and irony on digital saturation and obsession with social media, combining images with current elements.
El veoveo
Alba Sadurní (LAUS Golden Award 2025)
Motion graphics piece based on Clara’s story, reflecting on how different generations use words to discover the world around them.
LOADING…DESPIDO
Judit Tarragó (LAUS Bronze Award 2024)
“LOADING…DESPIDO” is a project created by our student Judit Tarragó in which she criticizes the current labor system and the lack of reconciliation with personal life. The project takes a final turn, since the person in charge of firing the employee in this case is an artificial intelligence, which does not require breaks to eat or rest, among other things.
