The International Conference Electroacoustic Winds 2017: SYNCHRESIS – Audio Vision Tales is organized by the Center of Electroacoustic Research (CIME), the Institute for Ethnomusicology – Research Center for Music and Dance (INET-MD), Research Institute in Design, Media and Culture (ID+) and DigiMedia – Digital Media and Interaction (CIC.Digital).
This conference seeks to establish bridges between Music Creation, Design & Soundscapes and New Media.
The eaw2017 SYNCHRESIS – Audio Vision Tales conference will focus on the relationship between sound and image, two different languages within the multimedia art form. The technological tools to improve this relationship are the main focus of the proposed symposium; dialogical perspectives will be given center stage relevance and participants will be confronted with both technical-linguistic and aesthetic points of view, but also discussions on how technology is enabling these two mediums to merge, creating tools for manipulating and enhancing not only the artist’s creativity but also the audience’s immersion.
This audio-vision relationship has become a research focus for different authors in recent decades. However, in this field, as in others within the digital humanities realm, new assumptions and theories are created every time technology overcomes its constraints and presents a new paradigm.
Design and soundscapes aims to discuss and mirror interactions between and features of design, sound, silence and the potential to perceive space, place and time. Intending to enlarge the scope of the debate, Design and Soundscapes invites researchers, practitioners and performers to present theoretical frameworks and/or empirical studies that address these topics.
Exhibition: “Centro de Cálculo”
Exposición: Del cálculo numérico a la creatividad abierta. El Centro de Cálculo de la Universidad de Madrid (1965-1982).
I’ve been working as part of the Scientific Comitee on the design and organization of this exhibition. I wanted to show the direct relationship between these early digital art works and my current activities at the University, trying to push forward digital art and programming in the teaching of the fine arts.
