- PublicationEcología global, sensibilidades locales. El rol de las humanidades ambientales frente a la crisis ecosocial contemporánea(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2017-07-05) Albelda Raga, José; Sgaramella, Chiara; Dpto. de Escultura; Dpto. de Pintura; Facultad de Bellas Artes; Centro de Investigación Arte y Entorno; Grupo de Laboratorio de Creaciones Intermedia. LCI[EN] The interdisciplinary research project entitled Environmental humanities. Strategies for ecological empathy and the transition towards sustainable societies investigates the role of ethics, visual arts and literature in the transformation process needed toimplement more eco-compatible cultural models. The ecological and social crisis we face forces us to rethink ourselves as human beings and as a society. Despite the significant techno-scientific advances in the field of energy efficiency and ecosystem restoration, a change in our world view and collective imagination is necessary in order to balance the powerful cultural inertia that characterizes the current paradigm. In this sense, humanities can play a relevant role in forging new values and imagining other forms of social coexistence. This paper analyzes some of the activities presented at the first international seminar carried out at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in November 2016 within the aforementioned research project. Different research methods in the field of humanities are taken into consideration to address the global and local dimension of the transition to sustainability. Firstly, an interdisciplinary approach is proposed for the study of global phenomena such as the energy and climate crisis. Moreover, creative workshops connected to citizen ecological initiatives are implemented to link academic research to local knowledge. Finally, we evaluate the influence and transformative potential of art projects exploring an expanded notionof site specific and adopting collaborative creation processes in dialogue with human communities, biotic and abiotic elements of the ecosystem.
- PublicationEstrategias culturales frente a la crisis ecosocial. Creación audiovisual y participación local en el proyecto Inner Nature Exhibition(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-02-13) López de Frutos, Estela; Rodríguez Mattalía, Lorena; Sgaramella, Chiara; Dpto. de Escultura; Dpto. de Pintura; Facultad de Bellas Artes; Centro de Investigación Arte y Entorno; Grupo de Laboratorio de Creaciones Intermedia. LCI[EN] INNER NATURE EXHIBITION is a non-profit cultural project that aims to propose a reflection on the eco-social crisis. It is a travelling video art show that interacts with other proposals organized by the different cultural centers that host it at national and international level, generating spaces of encounter, exchange and reflection. In its third edition, the project tries new formulas for relating local contexts to global problems. We urgently need cultural tools to make the ecological crisis visible and to deconstruct the dominant discourses that legitimize an unsustainable system. Issues such as peak-oil or climate change indicate the possibility of an unprecedented eco-social collapse. That is why it is essential to build alternative ways of working in the local contexts to rethink our sense of the common and to simultaneously cooperate with international institutions that can seek answers to shared problems. In this context, we explore the potential of video art as a tool to create awareness, while maintaining a critical viewpoint on the most technophilic discourses that tend to forget that technologies too are dependent on ecosystems. The experience of INNER NATURE EXHIBITION serves as a case study to analyze in practice the main contributions and possible limits of this type of cultural initiatives.
- PublicationInvestigación en las artes: el proyecto ARTS PROPEL como estrategia metodológica(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-09-29) García Sánchez, María; Dpto. de Dibujo; Facultad de Bellas Artes; Centro de Investigación Arte y Entorno[EN] We find ourselves immersed in a context where the equating of artistic research with scientific studies is increasingly evident. This equivalence results in an engulfment of artistic processes by the methods and tools of science. In this context, it is vitally important to recover the processes of artistic inquiry. Intuition, perception, materiality or narrative are some of these genuine forms of research in art. All of them make up the well-known qualitative methodology, which stands as an alternative to the prevailing scientific method. It is our duty to defend the rigor of such research, delving into the link between theory and practice. Perhaps this is one of the most significant problems among those presented by art research. To respond, we propose for its study the use of the methodology of the Arts Propel project. Taken as an analysis tool, this project to improve the evaluation of the arts can be a starting point to question what we do and how we do it. In order to discern how an approach to educational improvement can influence the methodological processes in art, we propose a confrontation between the terms art and research. From this discussion a new categorization arises that facilitates the understanding of PROPEL and its insertion in research practice. With its application we aspire to question the link between art and research, as well as possible solutions to research problems.
