      Design for the Non-Human

      Tyler Fox and Elizabeth Demaray / USA
      University of Washington, Rutgers University
      Panel
      http://www.tylersfox.com, https://elizabethdemaray.org

      New forms of technology now support shared experiences between humans and other species and may enhance the function of nonhuman life forms. Design for the Non-Human, brings together artists and designers working on generative, agent-based artworks that either (1) allow a non-human life form to use technology in such a way that its abilities are greater than those of a non- technologically enabled member of its own species, or (2) extend the sensorium of us humans to the sensory experiences of our companion species.

      Panel on Sonology: sonifying the conflict

      Julian Arango / Colombia
      Universidad de Caldas
      Panel
      https://sonologiacolombia.wordpress.com

      The experimental sound practices extend the acoustic referent of the conflict and produce cultural objects related to experiences of violence, displacement and social disparity. The Panel on Sonology will gather five artist-researchers whose works allow us to reflect on the role of music, sound art and sound design on communities disturbed by social inequality and violence. From different perspectives, the panelists will show personal modes of sonifying the conflict, discussing artistic experiences where experimental sound practices have been introduced in communities traced by social disruption: (1) Musical instrument building in the periphery, by Tomas Laurenzo ( 2) Acoustemology of the Armed Conflict in San Juan Nepomuceno, by Luz Eneida Ramirez (3) Mestizo Machines by Jorge Barco, (4) Sound: expression of the conflict and pedagogical tool, by Joaquín Llorca and (5) In the interstices of a memorial: A Review on Triangulation Gender/Sound/Technology, by Ana María Romano G. .

      Training Methods for Transdisciplinary Collaboration: Best Practices and Didactics for Team Work

      Roger Malina, G. Mauricio Mejia and Andrés F. Roldán / USA, Colombia
      University of Texas, Dallas, University of Caldas
      Panel

      Collaborative work appears as a need for successful transdisciplinary efforts and communal professional activity among individuals with different expertise. Collaboration frames activities in a scenario of mutual benefits, where each participant contributes with her work to personal and group goals. Collaboration is expected to increase individuality because participants' peculiarities, strengths, knowledge, and skills may articulate and negotiate to achieve an integrated outcome, which could be more successful and constructive.

      Collaborative work appears as a need for successful transdisciplinary efforts and communal professional activity among individuals with different expertise. Collaboration frames activities in a scenario of mutual benefits, where each participant contributes with her work to personal and group goals. Collaboration is expected to increase individuality because participants' peculiarities, strengths, knowledge, and skills may articulate and negotiate to achieve an integrated outcome, which could be more successful and constructive. However, individuals have limited abilities to exploit the personal and collective benefits of collaboration.

      Subvertising tools to the patriarchal thinking in advertising. Video art, photography, artivism in feminist WAR (Women Artistic Revolution)

      Alejandra Bueno / Spain
      National University of Education / Polytechnic University of Valencia
      Paper
      http://www.alejandrabueno.com

      This text is a conceptual and formal analysis of works of video art, photography and activism in defense of women's rights. It contextualizes the theoretical concepts of feminism, desire, liberty, reality, subversion or spectacle, in the framework of art and feminist critique in order to articulate an analysis running from the XXth to the XXIst century based on the theories of thinkers like Flusser , Lacan, Barthes, Debord and, more specifically concerning women, Lagarde, Beauvoir, Butler and Amoros. The aim is to show that art has had an important role in the diverse feminisms, contributing significantly to the improvement of the number of women in art and society, and that it continues to do so, being an accessible medium for reaching the dissident sector of the population, a medium that is creative in its confrontation, a medium whose duty is to communicate history and ensure that it is justly told, a tool for struggle camouflaged under the umbrella of art.

      Curatorship and New Media: Possible Dialogues

      Priscila Arantes / Brazil
      Anhembi Morumbi University
      Paper

      One of the discussions related to contemporary curatorial practices focuses upon the impact of new media and digital media on the formats and exhibition circuits. In addition to only exploring curatorships that showcase digital media art projects, what interests us in this article is to investigate how certain characteristics of media culture – such as collaborative processes and networking – are present in current curatorial practices. Examining this premise, we divided this article into two parts. In the first, we conducted a small curatorial history to show how the curatorial procedures have been adapted to the changes occurring in the field of contemporary art. In a second part, we use as a study case the curatorial projects developed by the Paço das Artes1 such as the Livro-Acervo, MaPA and Ex-Paço.

      Corporeal Cinema: Tactility and Proprioception in Participatory Art

      Raivo Kelomees / Estonia
      Estonian Academy of Arts
      Paper
      http://www.artun.ee

      In this article I analyze performances, artworks and installations in audiovisual and contemporary art which emphasize tactile and corporeal experiences. This trend can be observed in technological art, cinema and large visual attractions. I aim to demonstrate that due to technical developments and new tools, the possibilities now exist for new aesthetic experiences in which the body's position and its biological reactions play a decisive role.

      Panel

      The Latin American Forum was a platform for trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural negotiations concretized in series of panels, workshops, roundtables, presentations, lectures, and exhibitions. The forum was operational four years in the ISEA framework: ISEA2010 in Germany, ISEA2011 in Turkey, ISEA2012 in the USA and ISEA2013 in Australia. Since the conception of the Latin American Forum, one of the goals was to propose hosting an ISEA conference in Latin America, thanks to the hard work of a group lead by Universidad de Caldas finally ISEA will be hosted, for the first time in Latin America , in Manizales, Colombia. The Latin American Forum was a complex series of venues that intended to articulate a diversity of proposals ranging from digital culture to the technological arts, from the critical production to the historical perspective, from the science to the technology fields always with the question of geographic and cultural critical perspective. Latin American Forum participants came from: Argentina, Australia, Australian Aboriginal Communities, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Mexico, Navajo Nation, Peru, Uruguay, USA and Venezuela.
