Artefactos en diálogo: lugares, momentos, creación y transformación

Overview & Synopsis

The entry into the third decade of the 21st century was marked by an unprecedented social and economic situation. The Covid-19 pandemic is perhaps one of the most notable events of the decade so far. However, in the midst of the new normal left by the health emergency, human questioning of the process of transforming their environment intensified. Understanding how geographical boundaries blur in everyday life, with the advent of digital transformation, has involved questioning the scope of categories such as space, place, and territory. So, under what category should we embrace the new dynamics of interaction woven with digital technology in the different spaces of life? How to address the ways in which our cultural construction is being shaped by these new dynamics? "Artifacts in Dialog: Places, Moments, Creation, and Transformation" precisely brings to the reader a collection of artifacts to address these questions. Guided by the notion of "place," this work compiles the results of a series of territorial dialogs carried out in the departments of Boyacá and Santander. Among the constructed artifacts, videos, multimedia installations, podcasts, digital illustrations, sound compositions, and stage performances stand out. Likewise, devices such as sculptures, collages, musical compositions, artistic interventions, printed publications, and creations using familiar techniques like crochet, capture popular dialogs from our territories.
