5th Meeting of Art, Science and Digital Culture
3th, 4th, 5th December
Corporación Chilena de Video y Artes Electrónicas (CChV) hosts the 3th, 4th and 5th December the 5th Meeting of Art, Science and Digital Culture.
Aiming at showing the current production of Chilean artists and researchers engaging with science and technology, Corporación Chilena de Video y Artes Electrónicas (CChV) hosts the 3th, 4th and 5th December the 5th Meeting of Art, Science and Digital Culture. Ten panel discussions, one workshop and one webinar will bring together more than 30 professionals with expertise spanning across culture, science and art. The Meeting will reflect on the social, cultural and scientific transformations that Chile is currently facing.
The 2020 Edition Fold and Territory addresses both terms. The meeting is framed as an urgent action to create a transformation space that leads us to rethink the concepts of territory and humanity in times of crisis. “We have folded and unfolded ourselves in tangible and intangible territories, with the intensity of social, political and economic revolutions forming cultural traits that were accelerated by the pandemic”, explains Enrique Rivera, president of the CChV. "Any action that does not contribute to this transformation process becomes a distraction. In its fifth edition, this meeting seeks to deepen and put into practice forms of collective work between arts, sciences, as well as analogue and digital ecosystems”, he adds.
The program includes ten panel discussions, one workshop and one webinar. It will be broadcasted on the CChV YouTube channel from the Cerro Calán Observatory. On Friday 4th December (13:45 CET), the panel discussion Explorations in Art, Particle Physics & Astronomy will be dedicated to Simetría - the residency program that invites one Chilean and one Swiss artist to carry out a residency in Switzerland at CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, and in Chile at European Southern Observatory’s VLT (Very Large Telescope) and ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimetre Array) observatory (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO).
The guests will be the selected artists of the first edition Nicole L’Huillier, Alan Bogana and the recent winners of the second edition Patricia Domínguez and Chloé Delarue with Mónica Bello, Curator and Head of Arts at CERN. The discussion will be moderated by Enrique Rivera, president of CChV. The panellists will present the origins, development and future of the Simetría residency programme, as well as the experience of the first participants, and the challenges for the next edition. This talk also seeks to integrate the knowledge of a community that engages with essential questions and current scientific research that expand our notion of reality.
