Digital Media-Art: Creation of experimental post-photographic visual artifacts

Resumen

This text derives from the research-creation project submitted to the Doctorate in Digital Media-Art at UAB-UAlg, the research presents the development of an artistic practice that addresses the creation of visual artefacts linked to post-photography to question the current educational system. To this end, the expression of digital art is conceptually based on digital visual culture from a post-qualitative approach based on the a/r/cographic method as an action for collaborative work with students from different courses whose theoretical/practical training process includes participatory work with the community. Furthermore, a field diary is used as a repository of ideas, techniques and aesthetics to link the co-creative process. The results show the expansion of the communicative act with analogue and digital formats typical of post-photography, it is also proven that visual experimentation generates hybrid creative processes for digital media art. Likewise, it is reiterated that the use of emerging pedagogies linked to maker culture transforms the role of the student and makes them a prosumer agent where their voice is linked to the creative process. It is concluded that the use of tactical media facilitates the exploration of experimental visual formats that allow the artist to channel the communicative act to expand the message of the work, while collaborative work with students generates media literacy in the educommunicative act.
