Disonancias

The DISONANCIAS platform favours combined research into concepts, products/services or processes based on three types of development.

> an annual call for collaborations between artistas and companies, which encompasses a dozen projects. To date, 3 calls have taken place (DIVERGENTES 2005, DISONANCIAS 2006/07 and DISONANCIAS 2007/08). The 2008/09 edition is in progress.

> Activa_DISONANCIAS, a permanent platform for mediation between artists and companies(activa_DISONANCIAS), acting as a constant facilitator for the introduction of artists within business contexts, and for the integration of scientists, engineers or business people within artistic contexts.

> a conceptual framework – open and constantly redefined – on collaboration methodologies and practices and on the link between art and innovation, within which research is carried out allowing for a readjustment of the programmes organised. Consequently, DISONANCIAS has the support of universities and observers and disseminates its thoughts in the conference entitled “The Artist, the Engineer, Innovation and Its Management”.
