Welcome to Yasmin. All members are invited to share the discussion. Our topic for April 2009:
This running discussion deals with how (new) media can affect local behaviours related to creativity and innovation within a socio-political context, and what is the link between politic and the ways that users behave.
Questions that are raised include:
- Is (new) media a tool which reinforces people's creativity and how it is expressed in terms of social behaviour?
- What new media is entailing in connection to artistic expression? Is new media just a tool or an art form?
- How are democracy and social connectivity via new media related?
- Are global and local systems two separate entities, or is it about one place?
- What is the impact of the media content on identity in your socio-politic sphere?
- How is the economy affecting visual forms of communication?
- Do artworks emerge from a specific Intention or from media models constrained by business requirements?
- What new roles do virtual social networks adopt to maintain difficult relations?
Regards,
Ricardo

Subject: [Yasmin_discussions] Introducing myself
Dear colleagues,
I am Samuel González Gallastegui, artist and art researcher in the field of
Game Studies, a PhD candidate in Art at the University of the Basque
Country, where I had studied Fine Arts with great pleasure, and a High
School art teacher in Navarra (Spain).
Since my formative period I have been very interested in video art and art
installations, an interest that turned into a concern about the strong link
that exists between culture, new technologies and art. Consequently, I am
focusing my PhD in the study of 'Videogame's Spaces as Art's space'.
I would like to be accepted in the Yasmin's list and to take part in these
highly enriching Yasmin's debates. I hope to contribute from the viewpoint
of an artist that lives and works in a Mediterranean country and is deeply
interest in the relationship between art, culture, science and technology.
This list is a good chance dialog with other people interested in similar
fields.
Thank you and best wishes,
Samuel G. Gallastegui
