Work Group description
By producing new imaginative insights and perceptions art connect different levels of reality capable of generating hybrid spaces of communication and experimentation. From digital art practices, such spaces are positioned within the context of cyberculture and the network-society, protagonists of the current restructuring of the world in the information age.
The convergence between art and new technologies of information and communication generates reflections involved in the development and construction of cybersociety. The use of digital tools in artistic creation question concepts such as authorship, blurs the boundaries between disciplines, redefines management practices, production and dissemination of culture, raise new market policies, amplifies art context developing it in different imbrication of life "analog and digital".
We propose a deeper analysis, in art and outside it, in wich the complexities of the problem is related to the analog crisis (depletion of raw materials, overcrowding of cities, growth of the company's control, etc.) and the passage towards a better alternative digital future (free global access to knowledge, collaborative work and horizontal social networks capable of political action, etc.).
- efore the discussion of communications (12-29 of November) we have prepared a series of online workshops that will be published progressively.
