reconciliation stories
Calos Santa & Rubén Monroy / Caldas Symphony Orchestra
Colombia
Reconciliation Stories is a transmedia project that interprets the stories of some victims of violence in Colombia. In its realization we have had the support and work of hundreds of artists -animators, musicians and researchers-, with whom we have built a 90-minute animated feature film using different techniques, directed by Carlos Santa and Rubén Monroy.
The soundtrack of Reconciliation Stories was composed by maestro Fabio Miguel Fuentes, performed by the Symphony Orchestra of the University of Caldas and conducted by maestro Leonardo Marulanda.
The web page that contains the interviews, related data as a complement to a transmedia narrative and an invitation to other artists to contribute their interpretation.
Reconciliation Stories has also been a comprehensive research project, whose purpose is for young talents to explore different techniques and narratives. The theme on which we have built has allowed our team to generate a closer relationship with what war, peace, reconciliation and violence mean for Colombia. Their contribution has been commitment to the protagonists of the stories, respect by their look and their conscience in front of their role as political subjects.
At the Image Festival you will be able to appreciate the live show of the Symphony Orchestra in dialogue with the animated stories. A dialogue and a catharsis in which art serves as a means for the construction of historical memory and symbolic repair.

What's Technology Got to Do with It?
Barbara London
USA
Presented by Hyphen Hub
Video and media have attracted artists for decades. At first, painters, sculptors, musicians, and dancers saw the new and constantly updated electronic tools as both relevant and open ground to reclaim. During its relatively short life, media art has progressed from a defiant fringe to being considered museum-worthy and remarkably mainstream.
Acceptance of the field has coincided with market-driven technological advances. Today's ubiquitous and easy-to-use devices are indispensable and at the heart of everyday life. Speaker Barbara London describes the transformation.

Strategic design: scenarios for innovation
Carlo Franzato / Unisinos University
Brazil
The conference deals with design as a process that stimulates creative ecosystems. The strategic possibilities of design make it possible to promote an innovation derived, not only from the appropriation of technologies, but also from the ethical and aesthetic questions that the projectual action proposes for society. In this area, the development of scenarios to imagine alternative futures that challenge the current trajectories of organizational, social and cultural development becomes central.
