The seminar of the Master’s in Digital Arts (MAD) is an academic space that brings together disciplinary experts and researchers in sessions for presenting research-creation projects. These academic sessions explore a thematic axis of interest for the program’s field of study: the relationship between creative practices and digital systems.
The seminar is co-produced with MAMM, and its thematic axis for 2024 is “Science, Fiction and Reality. Cultural Codes,” which will be explored from the perspective of research in art, design, architecture, music, and cinematography. Additionally, the academic session will reflect on the importance of codes in cultural construction. We will have the participation of master’s students from the Master’s in Digital Arts at ITM, research projects from ITM, UdeA, UNAL, and UdeM, as well as artists participating in the Matter 3 Colombia project.
