FORO NO.2 NODOS ACTIVOS (2023): Artistic Research Through Playing (2023)

Systematization of the experiences lived in a space for reflection and dialogue between teachers, researchers and students from various artistic and design fields around the theme “artistic research through playing”. The games implemented in this forum are the culmination of an extensive design and planning process summarized in a second exposition in this catalog titled DESIGN OF GAMES AS ‘HANDS ON RESEARCH TOOLS’ FOR FORUM No.2 NODOS ACTIVOS: 2023’ ( https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/1920338/1920339) This exhibition recounts the experience of playing those games during the month of October 2023, in the facilities of the Center for Artistic Research, Teaching and Extension (CIDEA) and their surroundings, where the four schools of arts and design of the University come together: School of Art and Visual Communication (EACV), Performing Arts (EAE), Dance School and Music School. Aside from the researchers in charge of the Nodos Activos project, the creative team in charge of the development, design and ‘put to practice’ work implicit in all these research tools/games included EACV students Karolay Mendoza Castrillo, Marian Casanova Guzmán, Iván Sibaja Segura, and Nicole Barboza Alvarez; and EAE student Adrian Campos Chaves.
