Exchanges with Brazil, Chile and Colombia
International Exchange Program
Members of the Presente Continuo Org program have the opportunity to apply with a project for a work stay of one to two months at one of the program's partner universities.
Through the residencies, we aim to expand knowledge on new approaches to creative processes, working methodologies, device design, theoretical frameworks, and management and production models suited to the current context.
Regional platforms: Núcleo Art and New Organisms Laboratory / Voltaje Festival / Núcleo FAIR / MASS Festival
Dedicated to the development of practical-theoretical research in the arts with a specific focus on its intersection with technology, science, and nature. Within the scope of the Graduate and Postgraduate Program in Visual Arts at the School of Fine Arts – Center for Letters and Arts – UFRJ, it provides a laboratory space for practical-theoretical research.
Focused on the production of events and partnerships at both national and international levels, it centers its interest on the universe of ideas, practices, and poetics of processes that characterize different modes of creation and their related networks. The motivation is to consolidate a transdisciplinary space for reflection and the promotion of new cognitive models.
The Undergraduate Program in Art integrates emphases in visual arts, public practices, electronic media, and time-based arts. These are diverse forms of making art to experiment and build a personal artistic identity. In Postgraduate studies, the Master’s in Visual, Electronic, and Time-based Arts, with an experimental focus centered on the student’s studio practice, allows for the exploration and comparison of various technical and theoretical approaches in these expressive media, critically contextualizing them within contemporary art and culture. The research themes are linked to electronic, audiovisual, and intermedial art.
FAIR focuses on addressing the social, cultural, and environmental challenges of AI in Chile and Latin America, considering the technological progress it enables, the contexts of use, and the instabilities it generates in life on the planet. To promote the design of ethical futures, they will produce conceptual frameworks that will contribute to the development of public policies aligned with the rights and freedoms of living beings, while recognizing the independence of AI from communities and territories. They will create open spaces for collaboration, learning, and experimentation in cutting-edge areas that will foster research in dialogue with the humanities, arts, social sciences, and computer science.
The Department of Design at the Faculty of Integrated Arts of the University of Valle invites the fellows to participate in the call for papers for "Design in Society 13," as part of the International Conference to be held in November in Cali, Colombia. MASS is an event inspired by the work of the theorist Jesús Martín Barbero, from which we can refer to the importance of teaching, research, and creation in the arts. They aim to create a space where students, artists, and researchers can come together to think about the interface between art, technology, and society.
