Laboratory of Artistic and Media Interferences. Processes of artistic research about experimental visuality

The Laboratory of Artistic and Media Interferences (IAM-lab) is an interdisciplinary research group registered in the Art Department of the Miguel Hernandez University of Elche, and whose members teach at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Altea. Our lines of research are focused on the development of projects in the field of audiovisual, intermediate and transmedia artistic practices, with a special focus on dialogues between media, technological issues, contextual and procedural aspects. These practices are part of our interest in contemporary culture, visual studies, public art, collaborative practices and pedagogical and mediation processes. Our research is committed to a reflective practice that explores ways of producing meaning, and interrogates and experiments on the image and research methodologies in the arts. In this presentation we propose some methodological aspects that we consider key in our research process, such as: the creative application of the concept of interference as a disruptive action that questions assumed inertias, travel as an activating and articulating frame of processes, playful experimentation and processes co-laboratories, as well as the exploration of various formats of visual test to convey the results of the investigations.
