Innovación en arte y cultura digital/INNOVATION IN DIGITAL ART AND CULTURE
Online course: UOC, LABoral, Universidad de Oviedo
July, 6 - 30, 2009


LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial and 
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) are 
promoting a summer course on "Innovation in 
Digital Art and Culture" to be held this July at 
UOC's virtual classrooms. The course is part of a 
joint collaboration by the two institutions 
together with the Universidad de Oviedo with the 
goal of responding to theoretical and practical 
training needs of students, professionals and 
academics working in the sphere of audiovisual 
communication and contemporary digital culture. 
The course is directed by Pau Alsina, director of 
Artnodes and lecturer in Arts and Humanities at 
UOC, Rosina Gómez-Baeza, director of LABoral 
Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, and 
Aquilino A. Juan Fuente, director of the 
Universidad de Oviedo's Centre for Innovation.

The course Innovation in Digital Art and Culture 
is conceived to study the ongoing changes and 
transformations in contemporary art and cultural 
production under the influence of information and 
communication technologies, from an 
interdisciplinary context and in tune with the 
wider debates on an international scale in the 
fields of arts, humanities, communication and 
social sciences The programme is continued with 
the Feedforward International Symposium, 
scheduled for October 24th and 25th at LABoral 
Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, open to all 
participants at this course.

Innovation in Digital Art and Culture is aimed at 
cultural producers (artists, critics, curators, 
journalists) and professionals related with art, 
social and cultural intervention. Its concerns 
range from critical and creative productions in 
and about the world of culture and art in several 
formats (artistic, journalistic, exhibitions, 
advertising) to educational and social practices 
carried out through culture (teachers, social 
educators, social workers, youth workers). It 
also targets the cultural industry and system 
(managers, directors, centres, politicians) and 
professionals from creative industries and 
cultural institutions in the wider sense of the 
term, involved in the processes of cultural 
management, production, planning, promotion and 
dissemination, and interested in studying the 
impact of ICTs on the industry.
