VII INTERNATIONAL IMAGE FESTIVAL
University of Caldas - CCC Los Fundadores Theater
The advent of technologies and their influence in the fields of information and communication have made possible the conscientious analysis of the cultural constructs of the communities in their different geographies; it has also allowed their access, in irregular cadences, to the unstoppable dynamics of development, drift consistent with the universe of knowledge that defines contemporary times.
The broad framework provided by science and technology favors the ordering of new territories in which art, aesthetics and design leave their mark. Once the limits that governed the production of images for centuries have been exceeded, the sphere of the visual becomes more complex until it becomes a plethoric universe, where the senses focus on the total understanding of the discourse that is offered to them.
