人 representes the idea of human…

What is this all about? Well, my background is engineering and I terribly enjoy developing my creativity. I’ve always felt that the chemical reactions that took place in my head while doing “artistic” and “scientific” stuff were both very similar if not the same. Creativity should be the common factor.

There exists this feature in the notion of  interdisciplinarity which I’d like to emphasize and which is not present in the commonly used notion of multidisciplinarity. This feature implies an “integrative” mixture of knowledge or disciplines. When a team is assembled to develop some project, I believe the more interdisciplinar the team is, the easier the communication flows. Again, the more interdisciplinar the team is, the less a hierarchy is needed.

Definitely I’d like to see more “artists” having scientific creative knowledge and more “scientists” lacking artistic creative prejudices. This is a more 人 and complete approach which is what I’m interested in.

There are two persons whose work I admire and whom I’m lucky to collaborate with. One is Theo Jansen and the other is Julian Oliver. In this blog I’ll try to present distilled ideas and pictures of experiences with them plus some extra collateral reflections experiments and adventures.

Of course! it all began at Medialab Madrid :)
