Disonancias

YP is doing an evaluation of the actual round of DISONANCIAS. They have just published a very interesting article in which they try to define what is social creativity and its link to innovation (the text will be available soon in English).

Stephanie Davidson, who participated in last year round as an artist, organizes this year with Georg Rafailidis in Germany collaborations inspired in DISONANCIAS between Aachen’s School of architecture and design, and local industries.

To hear some of the discussions that were generated last April 2 at the meeting which brought together all the companies and artists of the current round, look at the movies that have been uploaded in TECNALIA / Ania Bas and EITB / Victor Iriarte blogs. 

On Wednesday, April 2 we will hold the third methodology meeting in Labein-Tecnalia, gathering all the companies and artists of the present edition.

The French sociologist Marc Perrenoud compares the values of the future workers [autonomy, flexibility, inventiveness, development by project] with the current forms of artists working, in an article published in Libération on March 24.

Note on your agenda the days that this year’s DISONANCIAS artists and R and D managers present the results of their collaborations.

The 28th March, as part of its DISONANCIAS project, Labein and Ania Bas have organised the Imagination Experts Day, a day in which employees share and incorporate their children's creativity to integrate a divergent view on their projects. Photo by Ania Bas.

The blog developed by ReD and IMAR on their collaboration in DISONANCIAS is of private access, but you can check this site in which IMAR refers to international outstanding projects and professionals in the field of drilled sheet and expanded metal.

François Deck, DISONANCIAS methodology adviser, will give a lecture at the Sorbonne (1 rue Victor Cousin, amphithéâtre Turgot) on Friday, March 21 at 17h, in a cycle entitled 'Art & Flux' which deals with the relationship between art and economy.

Without innovation we wouldn’t be what we are today. As happens today, there have always existed ultra-conservative minds reluctant to use new techniques…

This week the program EiTB Kultura broadcasts a special on DISONANCIAS, in ETB2 on Tuesday 26 and ETB1 on Thursday 28, both at 00:25. From March on we’ll have a weekly space.

The energy stored in an object can be transferred to another object if an exchange of work or heat intervenes between them (the first law of thermodynamics).

... David Cuartielles, who collaborated with DAISALUX in the last edition of DISONANCIAS: EL PAÍS comments today on the many projects he is developing, from a spin-off for interactive devices, to the Arduino Foundation, all with the aim of defending the democratization of knowledge.

On Thursday 21, we organized at Polo Garaia in Arrasate the second methodology meeting entitled Take on the improbable 2. Based on the game devised by François Deck, its purpose was to activate thoughts on the companies on their collaborative projects.
