Creative Residency Digital
Based on a proposal of partnership for development in artistic and technological research, exchange of experiences, promotion and dissemination of digital technologies, Laboratório de Poéticas Fronteiriças (LabFront: a research, development and innovation group that proposes to problematize the/at the borders and seeks to consolidate an area of research, artistic and theoretical production of knowledge, artistic languages, scientific and technological knowledge at UEMG/CNPq), Sucesu Minas/Inforuso 2019 and the Fab Lab Brasil Institute/FAZ Makerspace established a dialogue concerning the technological boundaries between the human and the digital.
From this dialogue, a digital art residency is conceived with artists from Belo Horizonte ( among invited and selected) to think and develop works with the theme of the event (FINIT presents Inforuso 2019): " O Humano Digital" (The Digital Human). The residency was supported by Lab|Front, and was curated and coordinated by Pablo Gobira, curator and PhD professor of the permanent staff of Escola Guignard (UEMG, Brazil) and the Graduate Program in Arts (UEMG, Brazil), from where he works in the fields of curation, creation and production within cultural, digital artistic making, digital games and creative economy. The professor has acted as the curator of several events, shows, residencies and exhibitions, among the most recent: LabFront Rounds (2016); Digital Arts Residency at Casa Fiat de Cultura (2018); Digital Art Biennale (2018); Digital Arts Seminar (2015 to 2019); Panorama Exhibition (2019). The residency was hosted at FAZ makerspace (Instituto Fab Lab Brasil), which is a 3D printing and modeling lab open to the public in Minas Gerais. This partnership, through the Fab Lab Brazil Institute, allowed not only the sharing of the space, but also the monitoring of the projects together with the team from the Laboratório de Poéticas Fronteiriças (http://labfront.tk), which enabled the creation of several digital art projects during the residency. Some artists participating in the residency were selected to participate, along with other artists, in the exhibition at the gallery Mari'Stela Tristão, at Palácio das Artes, cultural equipment of the city of Belo Horizonte that is a public space of innovation and culture, and receives this year: "FINIT presents 36a Inforuso 2019" and the Exhibition " O Humano Digital: Reverberações" where the proposals of the residency were exhibited. |
