Somni, Valencia, Research center at University of Valencia, Spain.
Somni is a research center on the University of Valencia campus focused on virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and data-driven research. The facility includes modern laboratories and spaces where technical and creative work happen side by side.
The center was founded in 2019 and was one of the first academic projects to systematically bring together technology and artistic practice. This founding principle continues to shape the center's work and direction today.
The center shows how digital technologies and artistic forms come together through works that explore questions about society and human experience. Visitors can see how contemporary art installations engage in dialogue with scientific concepts.
The location is easy to reach by public transportation, with bus stops and metro stations near the university campus. Visitors should ask in advance whether registration is needed or if certain areas are only open to research teams.
The center has specialized work spaces where scientists and artists collaborate on projects that combine augmented reality with environmental research. This cross-discipline collaboration is not common in most academic settings.
