Organization:SIGraDi
The Sociedad Iberoamericana de Gráfica Digital, SIGraDi (Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics) gathers researchers, educators and professionals in architecture, urban design, communication design, Product Design and Art whose work involves the new digital media. It is an organization sister to ACADIA, eCAADe, CAADRIA and ASCAAD (see below).
SIGraDi organizes a yearly Congress when the most recent and state of the art digital technologies and applications are presented and debated.
Goals
- Facilitate the interchange of information about digital graphics.
- Connect research centers yet disconnected in Latin America.
- Foster institutions and organs for the convergence and diffusion of each region's activities in the realm of Digital Graphics.
- Keep a registry of people and institutions devoted to the production, research and education in our fields of knowledge.
- Foster seminars and congresses.[1]
Annual Congress
SIGraDi congresses are intended as a region wide effort for the interchange of experiences, debate of our disciplines' advancements and the creation of references for the iberoamerican groups involved in digital media applied to education, research and professional practice
Themes
The Congress intends to generate a synthesis of research and collective intelligence, where the academic communities of the countries in Latin America and the World can share their knowledge, in a space devoted for presentations and discussions about work on this subject applied to various disciplines . The setting for our encounter is within the realms of design and project management at all different scales, and art in its multiple expressions, which anticipates a varied and valuable exchange that will promote self-assessment and reformulation of educational paradigms. We invite you to contribute from different areas of interest and from different types of approaches. Suggested, but not exclusive, thematic axes are:
- Design Theory and Practice in Digital Contexts: Performance based design, Interdisciplinary design, Theories of design and Conceptual models, Projective research, Innovation and creativity, Design Cognition
- Teaching in Digital Contexts and History of the Media:Education in digital contexts, Educating future designers, Platforms and MooC’s, Digital heritage, Media archaeology.
- Digital Manufacturing and Construction:Automated construction, Rapid prototyping, Maker culture, Architectural Robotics.
- Information, Modelling, and Simulations:Building Information Modelling (BIM), Simulations, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Smart cities
- Information, Processing and Visualization:Visualization of information, Big Data, Computer vision, Image processing.
- Morphogenesis, synthesis, and analysis of shapes:Parametric modelling, Generative systems, Complex and self-organized systems, Shape grammar
- Interfaces and devices: Augmented and virtual reality, Interaction design, User Interfaces and User Experiences (UI/UX), Robotics, Responsive environments, sensors and feedback, Physical computing
- Cultural Industries and Artistic Practices:Gaming and Digital animation, Interactive art, Digital art, Multimedia production
- Crowdthinking:Collaborative and collective design, Social media and Gamification, Creative Commons and Open Source, Crowdsourcing and Crowdfunding, Citizen science and Open science, Research, Learning, and Knowledge Networks, Distributed intelligences, Cloud computing
SIGraDi Congresses
The annual SIGraDi congress is the main event organised under auspices of the association. It is organised by a member in good standing, who volunteers for the organisation. The organiser is supported by members of the International Executive Committee.
During the years, SIGraDi has developed the policy to circulate the conference location in such a way that southern, central and northern areas of Latin America are reached regularly.
In the past years, the following SIGraDi Congresses have been organised[1]
