EVENT DESCRIPTION:


[English version]

Interdisciplinary strategies as research, educational and innovation practices are a reality of our times. Today we accept as a very positive value the impulse of interaction between the different specialties of knowledge and techniques.
This network of interaction opens up the possibility of establishing unexpected creative connections, which are key to imagining and building livable futures. The doctoral stage is the academic access route to research practice, and therefore, establishing, making visible and formalizing these interdisciplinary guidelines in these early stages of research not only shows a commitment to these dynamics by the new generations, but also offers us the possibility of understanding the evolution and positions of those who today exercise interdisciplinarity as a projection on their future, and therefore on what is common and shared. However, the practice of interdisciplinarity also presents particularities, fragmentations and obstacles. In this LASERTalk we will analyze the characteristics of interdisciplinary work through a debate with two pre-doctoral researchers, Amanda Ramón Constantí (Architect) and Patricia Cadavid (Artist), where we will analyze under these open and interdisciplinary premises the concepts and practices of the creative, the collective, the technological, the critical and the political, ... building a multiple view that understands knowledge and research from the position of alliance and collaboration.


[Versión Español] 

Las estrategias interdisciplinares como prácticas de investigación, educativas e innovación son una realidad de nuestra actualidad. Hoy aceptamos como un valor muy positivo el impulso de la interacción entre las distintas especialidades del conocimiento y las técnicas. Esta red de interacción abre la posibilidad de establecer conexiones creativas no esperadas, que son clave para imaginar y construir futuros habitables. La etapa doctoral supone la vía de acceso académico a la práctica de investigación, y, por tanto, establecer, visibilizar y formalizar estas pautas interdisciplinares en estas primeras fases de investigación no solo muestra un compromiso con estas dinámicas por las nuevas generaciones, si no que nos ofrece la posibilidad de entender cuál es la evolución y las posiciones de quien hoy ejerce lo interdisciplinar como proyección sobre su futuro, y por tanto sobre lo común y compartido. Sin embargo, la práctica de lo interdisciplinar también presenta particularidades, fragmentaciones y obstáculos. En este LASER analizaremos las características del trabajo interdisciplinar a través del debate con dos investigadoras en fase predoctoral, Amanda Ramón Constantí (Arquitecta) y Patricia Cadavid (Artista), donde analizaremos bajo estas premisas abiertas e interdisciplinares los conceptos y las prácticas de lo creativo, lo colectivo, lo tecnológico, lo crítico y lo político, … formando una mirada múltiple que entiende el conocimiento y la investigación desde la posición de la alianza y la colaboración.

Performance "ELECTRONIC KHIPU"

Patricia Cadavid will present her audiovisual performance "Electronic_Khipu_" based on the manipulation of an experimental sound instrument. The khipu is an information processing and transmission device used mainly by the Inca empire and previous Andean societies. This tangible interface is one of the first textile computers known, consisting of a central wool or cotton cord to which other strings are attached with knots of different shapes, colors, and sizes encrypting different kinds of values and information. The system was widely used until the Spanish colonization that banned their use and destroyed a large number of these devices.
