Week 139_Cripto: Meeting of Art, Science and Digital Culture
4th Meeting of Art, Science and Digital Culture CRIPTO
October 13, 2018 CENTEX - Valparaíso
October 19 and 20, 2018 - Museum of Visual Arts MAVI and Castillo Hidalgo
Under the Cripto concept, the 4th Encounter of Art, Science and Digital Culture opens its version in Santiago on Friday, October 19 at the Museum of Visual Arts MAVI, in correspondence with the version in Valparaíso on Saturday, October 13.
Cripto, the 4th EACCD seeks to reflect on the data and the digital flow as raw material for both scientific and artistic research and production. In a developing country and increasingly contextualized in the global information movement, we propose to work from this cross that implies a direct relationship with our evolution as a community, from a diagnosis and the projection of policies for the development and implementation of new model of thought, education and knowledge.
Organized by the Chilean Video Corporation (CChV) with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage and thanks to the Other Collaborating Institutions Program 2018, the meeting brings together artists, curators, scientists and cultural agents to open conversations about the transformations social, cultural and scientific issues facing the country, also considering the recent creation of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation.
In this way, Cripto seeks a critical reflection on the guidelines, criteria and parameters necessary for the creation of a future National Plan of Art, Science and Digital Culture.
The initiative includes an agenda of activities located in the cities of Valparaíso and Santiago, with a program consisting of lectures, work tables, laboratories and visual concerts, as well as the presentation of a documentary and the development of a publication that is presented as a recommendation that arises from the transdisciplinary art and science sector.
Crypto
It is an invitation to reflect and talk about the digitalization of information, the new forms of production and distribution of goods and services, and the emergence of a new post-industrial economic paradigm, based on data and its encryption: the post-Fordism of datology.
The interactions between subjects, communities and institutions are intimately altered by the massive management of data and the emergence of artificial intelligence, where the opaque corporate criteria are those that currently operate as the driving axis in a still unveiled life horizon.
The new forms of the data economy and communications also configure new forms of sensitivity and affection that complicate social interactions through virtual machines and interfaces, putting into crisis the conventional ways of understanding the human and its place in the world.
CRIPTO, the 4th Encounter of Art, Science and Digital Culture, is based on the development of four interaction dynamics:
1. Convergences: talks and conversations about art, science and digital culture.
2. STEAM table> MATIC: work table based on the STEAM (Science, technology, engineer, art, mathematics) or MATIC (Mathematics, art, technology, engineering and science) approach, Spanish version adapted by the CChV. Seeks the deepening of education and mediation in the 21st century.
3. Editorial Laboratory: action to collectively build criteria and parameters around the relation art, science and digital culture, which will have as the axis the documentary to be presented, and a micro-publication at the end of the meeting.
4. Experiences: instances that transmit and collect part of the program of the CChV, such as visual concerts that are the result of other activities and the documentary that is presented as a submersion in the themes through different interviews.
