The iA*Lab – Landscape, Heritage, Art, Territory, and Ecology seeks the interdependence of these categories, focusing on transdisciplinary problematization processes and sympoietic practices from visual arts, cinema, design, and architecture.
Transdisciplinarity aims for collaboration across knowledge fields, surpassing conventional limits and taxonomies and promoting the synthesis and coexistence of knowledge, considering the progressive hybridization and expansion of the artistic field. Sympoiesis reflects the drive for collaborative creation, emphasizing the interdependence of ecological and social systems, starting with the consideration of humanity as an inextricable part of nature.
The iA*Lab – Landscape, Heritage, Art, Territory, and Ecology focuses on transdisciplinary problematization through hybrid and expanded artistic practices.
PArTE adopts research models based on artistic and project-based practices (arts-based and design-driven research), in convergence with the objectives of the Vienna Declaration on Artistic Research, seeking to contribute to the production and dissemination of knowledge through the arts in various social, cultural, territorial, and ecological contexts.
This approach enables a recentering of artistic and project-based practice as an epistemic, hermeneutic, and heuristic medium vital for understanding, creating, and transforming cultural, heritage, territorial, and ecological dynamics.
Thus, PArTE presents a rhizomatic structure that allows for exploring new perspectives, within a holistic and integrative framework, aligning with the criteria of the Frascati Manual for research and development through Art and its practices.
