In November 2017, we launched the call for a joint artistic residency with the Exploratorio del Parque Explora de Medellín. Fueled by the theme of the 17th International Image Festival: New Expeditions, the call had as its winning project "Meta-landscape Medellín", a research-creation proposal by the plastic artist Alejandro Escobar. «Meta-landscape Medellín» proposes an exercise of co-creation by the author with the multi-instrumentalist musician Federico Goez, from which a hybrid piece of digital cartography will emerge through virtual reality technology. «It is an artistic installation with an analogue component and a digital one. The analogous component is a paper sculpture whose structure resembles interconnected tunnels. Its surface shows a multiplicity of city photographs arranged in such a way that the contrasts and gaps that separate multiple realities are evident; stray dogs, passers-by, streets, businesses, homeless, high-end vehicles, slums, buildings, bars, prostitution, […]

As of this March 16, Darién will be open to the Pereiran public, an audiovisual, ecological and contemplative exploration of the Darién jungle, developed with the aim of reflecting and extending the relationship between the human and the non-human, seeking to raise awareness about the environment and assume the importance of remembering and recognizing the territory in the face of its constant transformation.

One of the exhibitions that were part of the 16th International Image Festival - ISEA2017, was Timée; an installation full of lights and sound presented by the French artist Guillaume Marmin, which invited reflection on the mixture of ancient philosophical theories and current technological practices. Good morning Guillaume, welcome to ISEA2017. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your career as an artist? Hello, I am a French plastic artist. I am very happy to be in Manizales. Thanks to ISEA for inviting me this year. I come more from video, I made many experimental installations and videos and now my work is more oriented by light, and its relationship with sound and space, as I did with the Timée installation that we were able to see in Manizales. In relation to your work Timée, can you tell us about the creation process and why it is called Timée (apparently it comes from the book […]

The French artist Hicham Berrada visited Manizales for the first time to present his artistic and scientific work within the framework of the 16th International Image Festival - ISEA2017. Elements such as time, nature or science are part of his artistic career and his interest in the future. Good morning Hicham and welcome to the Festival and ISEA. Good morning and thanks. Tell us about your career as an artist. I am a plastic artist. I work to a greater extent in installations, videos, performances and everything around the theme of landscape, because for me landscape is a rather ambiguous term that wants, above all, to say a man's point of view on nature, and I think that it is through the notion of landscape. It is by the fact that the painters painted the landscape or that the photographers photographed the landscape, that our philosophical conception of nature is based […]

The French artist Alex Augier presented _nybble_ within the framework of ISEA2017 – 16th International Image Festival. This soundscape is a commitment to audiovisual production, since its interest is to find that both light and sound complement each other. This is an interview in which Alex tells us a little about his creative career and his time at the Festival. Tell us about your journey as an artist. As an artist I have a first project, my previous project called oqpo_oooo. It is an audiovisual performance like _nybble_. I presented it for the first time at the Scopitone Festival in Nantes and it was produced by Stereolux. That's my entry into the world of numbers. Above all, I feel like a musician and I also like technology, programming, architecture, design, all of this. And, indeed, I try to reflect to make a coherent synthesis of all this and the […]

Friedrich Kittler is for many the founder of media studies and one of the most influential thinkers in the philosophy of technology and literary criticism. Schools of thought such as Media Archeology and Digital Humanities have expressed a debt to the thought of this author, who has gone unnoticed in Spanish-speaking academic circles. This volume offers what is probably the first translation of Kittler into Spanish, filling a significant gap in our humanities and media sciences. The reader will find in this book a selection of texts that show the intellectual development of a thinker, as well as the diversity of topics and ways of approaching the technological issues of the present in their historical dimension, revealing routes and horizons for research that surprise us by its validity and currency.
