Project Definition: Expanded Printing. Art and Printing; the impact of digital media in the context of printed art.2007-2009
The main goal of this project is to develop, contrast and share our studies in the field of artistic production made with digital technologies, from the perspective of their use in new creative methodologies.
Our most immediate objective is to organize an international forum in the shape of a symposium. This activity will be key to allow discussion, debate and exchange of opinions on the impact that digital media has had over the past ten years in the context of the computerized printed image. It aims to generate an exchange of experiences that should dynamize our research structure, and therefore increase our expertise in the field of contemporary art today.
Objectives: 1. To gather a corpus of art produced through digital media, which will containing within itself (as artworks) the outcome of the research process. 1.1 To develop a technical research line on the materials and technologies of new media related to two-dimensional and three-dimensional impression. 1.2 To organise, design and produce a “Collaborative Magazine” to be published on-line.
2. To organize and host the following symposium: “The Expanded Print. The Impact of Digital Media in the Context of Printed Image”. 2.1 To analyse the impact that innovations in digital language have had over printing processes. 2.2 Confluence of different disciplines. 2.3 To generate a platform of debate that invigorates our knowledge on current contemporary art. 2.4 To share the results obtained.
