Free admission with prior registration
Registration open
The seminar of the Master’s in Digital Arts (MAD) is an academic space that brings together experts and multidisciplinary researchers in two sessions of socialization of research-creation projects. These academic sessions explore a thematic axis of interest to the program’s field of study: the relationship between creative practices and digital systems.
The thematic axis for 2023 is “non-human art, creations inspired by nature,” and to explore this topic, two keynote lectures are presented by international guests Beatrice Zaidenberg and Andres Salas.
Zaidenberg holds a Master’s in Art History from Humboldt University Berlin and is a junior curator at the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM) in Germany. She has researched the importance of insects as models for technological development and cybernetics. For his part, Salas is a doctoral candidate in the Interdisciplinary Humanities PhD Program at Concordia University in Canada, and researches the impact of mining and gentrification processes that accompany the digitization of human societies.
Additionally, during the two academic sessions, research-creation projects involving computer systems as material for reflection and creation from different disciplinary perspectives will be presented. We will have the participation of master’s students from the ITM Master’s in Digital Arts and the USB Master’s in Creativity, research projects from the ITM Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and other projects by researchers and artist colleagues.
