        Videoarde's works are inserted in the field of mediation and transformation of social space, sometimes showing the peculiar ways of dealing with everyday life and other times reflecting on critical aspects -more autochthonous or more global- that occur in different Latin American countries and Caribbean: issues that have to do with politics, history/memory, identity, the social crisis, violence, machismo, sex, religion, the border and emigration, urban space and art. The sample is made up of 32 videos made by artists from Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Argentina , Paraguay, Uruguay, USA and Spain. All of them engage in a fluid dialogue through three specific programs Men, Wolves and Men, Vital Space and My Way: Local Survival Lessons.

        A creative annex of CLOUDS FALL (2014), CLOUDS FALLING is a virtual camera obscura of an imaginary post-apocalyptical world, a dark mirror of the current state of world affairs and a critical probing of the shifting boundaries between the real and the virtual in our hyper-technologised everyday reality.

        WEB-MINDSCAPE is an interactive installation joining diverse aspects, such as social network, sound, brainwaves and visual elements. It creates an immersive audiovisual environment, which is site-specific, where sound is diffused in surround, and the visual elements consist of light produced via electroluminescent wires (EL wires). Visitors are invited to interact with the audiovisual environment (light and sound) by using an EEG interface, which reads their brain activity. Therefore, they are confronted to messages from a social network (in this case, Twitter).

        Wolfgang Schaeffner 

        Germany
        The Design Turn: The project of a laboratory for the interdisciplinary design of knowledge tries to manifest the turn to design that is currently taking place in the natural sciences as a new scientific revolution. With this objective, experiences from the Bauhaus school, the Ulm school and analogue and digital media are also taken up to place design as an integrating force at the center of the different disciplines. In the workshop we try to develop some basic elements for such a laboratory that allow us to transform interdisciplinary design into a field of basic research. In this way, the individual designer will become a laboratory and a network of actors, and the image as a passive surface for the visualization of knowledge will become an active graphic surface that brings together not only electrical circuits, spatial structures, and geometric operations, but also the table as the basic operating unit of the laboratory.
