Description of contents: programme
SEMINAR 0. This space will provide the fundamental hermeneutical tools to be able to carry out the activities of the laboratories from a genealogical method that allows understanding the essential problems of concepts such as: Art, Science, Technology and Society (ACTS), technique vs. technology, surveillance and obedience, gender and appropriation, virtual materiality, expanded writings, technology and postcolonialism, intimacy and RR.SS... LABORATORY 1. Thinking with images: automation, intermediality and transmediality. In this laboratory, visual thinking and writing-image methodologies will be practiced to experience the transformations of images from their medial expansion. LABORATORY 2. Nature vs. Technology. Utopias and dystopias between bioart and ecofeminisms. This laboratory will explore the limits of the technological progress of artistic practices and their frictions with the apparent oppositions between nature and culture. LABORATORY 3. Bodies: cyborg aesthetics, avatars and new identities. In this laboratory, training tools will be put into practice that account for the metamorphosis of the body as a cultural construct based on hybrid artistic practices. FINAL SEMINAR. In this closing seminar, the final projects of the students will be worked on.
